About Tammy
Tammy White is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of professional experience in New Mexico. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and problems with addiction. Tammy also supports those coping with grief, relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, and life changes.
Tammy uses straightforward conversations to build rapport and ease into the work. Sessions are warm and nonjudgmental. She aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to identify small, practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Her approach blends several methods so sessions can be tailored to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication.
Tammy also practices client-centered work that focuses on a person's goals and pacing. For trauma-related concerns she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, an approach aimed at reducing the hold of traumatic memories. Across the work she pays attention to attachment, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions of purpose.
Conversations often include skill practice, problem solving, and reflection on values. The goal is to help people regain steadiness and move toward what matters to them.

Approaches that guide online parenting support
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pace, with the therapist offering understanding and reflection to help a parent clarify priorities and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence behavior and mood and teaches concrete tools to change thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can be useful for managing strong reactions, reducing conflict, and improving day-to-day functioning in parenting roles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pacing and techniques based on what helps most in sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice coaching-style conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is not ideal. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, handle quick struggles, and maintain continuity while working toward long-term change.
