About Tammy
Tammy Threatts is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting challenges, and relationship strain. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical change rather than long lectures.
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Mindfulness practices are added when clients want ways to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity.
Background and approach
Narrative techniques help people tell their story differently so past hurts don't define present choices. Tammy draws on a long career in social work to tailor sessions to each person. She listens for what matters most and then works with clients on clear steps they can try between meetings.
Parents often bring concerns about sleep, anger, or communication, and she helps them develop patterns that feel more manageable. Clients can expect a straightforward approach that mixes short-term problem solving with attention to deeper wounds when needed. She pays attention to cultural context and life transitions, including career shifts and mood disorders.
Tammy aims to help people rebuild confidence, repair relationships, and find ways to cope with change. Based in Louisiana, she offers practical guidance for everyday struggles. The focus is on real-world strategies that fit each person's life and goals.

Approaches Tammy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How these approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, or sleep problems. It is practical and goal-oriented and works well for worry, mood issues, and some relationship patterns.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice emotions without reacting immediately. These skills help with anger, stress, and strong reactions after trauma by giving people tools to calm themselves in the moment.
Tammy approaches finding the right method as a team effort. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try a few techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels useful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to parenting concerns, trauma recovery, mood management, and everyday stressors.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video works well for full conversations and reading nonverbal cues, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, and messaging allows short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to get help without a long commute and to use brief sessions around family or work routines.
