About Tammi

Tammi Abney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate family tensions, and recover from trauma and abuse. Tammi also supports parents who are struggling with parenting concerns and people working to build self-esteem and confidence.

Her approach is straightforward and warm. She aims to create an open space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Sessions are practical and focused on what matters most to the person in front of her.

Tammi brings experience with adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, and blended family issues. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, and difficulties tied to autism or intellectual disability when those come up in a person's life.

People come to her for help after domestic violence, infidelity, or natural and human-caused disasters. She has worked with issues such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), isolation and loneliness, and finding life purpose. Tammi meets each person where they are and works at a pace that fits their needs.

Tammi encourages the first step of reaching out. She guides clients through a short matching process and then schedules sessions based on availability. Her goal is to make therapy approachable and useful for daily life.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Many therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with anxiety, trauma, and relationship strain. For example, approaches that focus on developing practical coping skills teach concrete ways to lower stress in the moment and manage overwhelming emotions. These strategies are useful for anxiety, parenting stress, and day-to-day challenges.

Another common technique centers on improving communication and attachment. This involves learning clearer ways to express needs and setting healthier boundaries, which can reduce conflict and improve relationships. These methods help when family tensions, blended family issues, or caregiver strain are present.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their situation. If something doesn’t feel helpful, adjustments are made so therapy stays relevant and practical.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit more easily into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t possible. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and whether a camera-on or audio-only meeting better suits your needs.
