About Tammara
Tammara Rood helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting strains, and grief. She also supports people facing ADHD, addiction concerns, mood challenges like depression and bipolar, and difficulties with intimacy and sleep.
Background and approach
Tammara aims to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward for someone feeling overwhelmed. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through the things that matter to them.
Her approach focuses on practical tools and real conversations rather than clinical jargon. Clients can expect a mix of skills practice and supportive listening tailored to their situation.
Over 14 years of work, she has guided people through life transitions, compassion fatigue, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She also helps with attachment questions, abandonment fears, and the stress of caregiving.
Those dealing with family splits, blended family challenges, and communication breakdowns will find direct, hands-on help. Tammara uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and Client-Centered therapy.
She describes these tools in plain terms and chooses techniques that fit each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT - practicing in New York.
Sessions are conversational and focused on small, achievable changes people can try between meetings. Her aim is to help clients build more confidence, steadier moods, and clearer relationships over time.
Approach and remote care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people build safer connections and better communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Then she mixes tools from different methods to create a plan that fits the person rather than forcing a single style.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for a deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is not wanted. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions.
