About Tammy
Tammy Bissonnette is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She brings a decade of experience working in mental health settings, including time in the drug and alcohol field. Tammy aims to help people move past hard periods and build a clearer path forward for their life.
She focuses on common concerns such as stress and anxiety. She also helps with relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression.
Background and approach
Tammy centers sessions on what each person wants to achieve and uses practical tools to reach those goals. Tammy believes each person knows their own story and already has strengths to draw on. In sessions she partners with clients to identify those strengths and apply them to real-life challenges.
Work in therapy is goal-oriented and grounded in everyday steps people can take between meetings. Her clinical background includes work in substance use settings and community mental health over the last ten years, with the past three years licensed in New York as an LMHC. That mix of experience shapes a direct, respectful style in the room.
Sessions are focused and collaborative. Tammy helps people learn to feel better and regain control over daily life. She aims to leave people with clear strategies and a sense of progress toward their goals.
Evidence-based approaches delivered online
Tammy uses a few well-known clinically supported techniques in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to improve mood and reduce anxiety. This approach helps with stress, worry, and patterns that keep problems going.Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and find internal reasons to move toward those goals. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change. Tammy also lists EMDR as part of her approach, which is an approach some people use to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammy works with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts plans over time so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face-to-face without travel and are good for longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, shorter check-ins, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit regular care into a varied schedule.
