About Tammy
Tammy Piazza is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, and parenting challenges. She works with individuals wrestling with mood disorders, sleep issues, grief, and the aftermath of trauma. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on small, practical steps you can use right away.
She emphasizes listening first and adapting sessions to each person’s needs. Tammy blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral techniques to teach coping skills and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to help regulate strong emotions and manage reactions. Tammy has seven years of experience and practices in New York as an LMHC. Her background includes supporting people with substance use concerns alongside mental health conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress.
She helps clients build routines for better sleep and reduce burnout and compassion fatigue. In sessions she focuses on concrete tools - breathing and grounding practices, problem-solving steps, and communication strategies. When trauma is part of the story, she can use EMDR-informed methods to address painful memories while pacing the work to what feels manageable.
The pace and plan come from what the client needs. People who reach out can expect a collaborative atmosphere that balances empathy with practical skill-building. Tammy works in English and offers remote options for therapy to fit different schedules and life demands.

How Tammy Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Tammy commonly combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and shaping sessions around the person’s priorities so the client feels heard and respected. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation is a major need. DBT offers straightforward skills for tolerating distress, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and staying grounded when feelings run high. Together these approaches let Tammy tailor sessions to problems like panic attacks, anger, sleep disruption, or parenting stress in a step-by-step way.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Tammy will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match goals and comfort levels, and she adjusts methods as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone can be an easier fit when bandwidth is limited, quick chats or text messages work well for brief check-ins and homework follow-up. These options give flexibility for busy schedules and different communication preferences.
