About Tammy
Tammy Hicks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and she notes a special interest in life purpose and related concerns.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on identifying problems, testing small changes, and noticing how new steps affect daily life. Tammy leans on methods from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused techniques to shape each session around what the person brings.
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin and a master’s degree from St. Edward’s University. Over nearly two decades she has worked in a range of settings and with varied concerns, which means she often draws on practical strategies from different approaches.
In a typical session she listens first, then helps people name patterns and try specific skills to reduce worry or lift low mood. For those wrestling with emptiness, motivation, or questions about purpose, she helps break larger questions into small experiments and next steps.
Tammy frames therapy as collaborative work. She encourages people to bring concrete problems - stress at work, fatherhood or family tensions, or decisions about what comes next - and then builds short-term plans to test what helps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says. It helps people feel heard and lets them steer which topics to work on, useful when sorting values or life purpose questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches specific skills and small experiments to reduce anxiety or shift low mood, which can be practiced between sessions.
Solution-focused therapy targets concrete goals and immediate next steps. It is practical for people who want short-term progress and clear tasks to try between meetings.
Figuring out which approach fits is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether listening-focused, skills-based, or goal-focused methods are most helpful. That choice can change over time as needs and goals evolve.

Online sessions often make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from appointments. These practical benefits can help people keep consistent momentum while trying new ways of living and working.
