About Tammara
Tammara Rood is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and self-esteem concerns. She has 14 years of clinical experience and works with adults facing mood, behavior, and life-change struggles. Tammara offers direct, practical support in a calm and nonjudgmental way.
She focuses on everyday problems like getting better sleep, handling anger, coping with grief, and managing symptoms of depression, bipolar disorder, or ADHD.
Background and approach
She also addresses more complex issues such as trauma, addiction, compassion fatigue, and attachment or abandonment concerns. Parents often seek her help for navigating blended family dynamics and caregiver stress. Tammara combines several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs.
She uses skills-based strategies to address thinking and behavior, and she draws on attachment-informed work to improve important relationships. Her style is warm, straightforward, and collaborative - she helps people set small, doable goals and practices to try between sessions. She provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location and availability. Tammara is based in New York and conducts therapy in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
She aims to make the first steps simple and manageable for someone already juggling many responsibilities.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying what matters most and taking small, values-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation by teaching practical ways to act in line with personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches skills to shift those patterns, which can help with depression, sleep issues, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy examines early and current relationship patterns to improve trust, communication, and emotional connection, which is useful for relationship strain, attachment concerns, and parenting tensions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit support into busy days and to follow up between appointments. These options make ongoing therapy more accessible for people juggling parenting, work, and life changes.
