About Tammy
Tammy Christensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Missouri and Idaho with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who feel stuck after change or who are unsure what comes next. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and depression.
Tammy helps people look at the practical patterns that keep them stuck. She listens for strengths and past successes, then uses those as starting points. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than abstract ideas. Conversations may include setting boundaries, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions.
Her work also addresses issues tied to relationships and identity. This includes abandonment, blended family concerns, commitment issues, and codependency. She supports people coping with divorce, separation, domestic violence histories, and the emotional fallout of those events.
Tammy treats concerns related to aging, body image, guilt, shame, and co-morbid mental health issues. She helps people notice patterns around control, dependent personality traits, and impulsivity, and then practice different responses. Her approach aims to increase day-to-day functioning and clearer decision making.
People who come wanting direction after a career, relationship, or health change will find focused, practical conversation. She encourages clients to use their own experience as a guide and to try small changes between sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Evidence-based approaches used in remote sessions
Tammy works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is behavior-focused work that identifies unhelpful routines and replaces them with concrete alternatives; this can help with anxiety, impulsivity, and addictive patterns. Another approach centers on communication skills training, which teaches clear ways to express needs and set limits to improve relationship stress and commitment issues.Choosing the right approach is seen as a shared process. Tammy will review your concerns, goals, and how you respond to early sessions, then suggest methods to try together. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what is most useful for day-to-day life and decision making.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not specify exact formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten follow-up check-ins, or avoid travel time. Some people prefer shorter remote check-ins when bandwidth is limited or when a quick coaching-style conversation helps between longer sessions.
