About Tammy
Tammy Franek is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Missouri with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting issues, anger, and career concerns. Tammy also helps with depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related issues.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She listens first, then helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions include practical conversation and experiments to try different responses between meetings. Tammy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to guide that work.
In a typical session she prioritizes clear goals and simple tools. Clients might practice new ways of thinking, plan small behavior changes, or work on communication skills. She helps people break big problems into manageable steps and track what changes.
Tammy draws on a long career across clinical settings. That experience informs how she helps with co-occurring concerns such as ADHD, impulse control, and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing life transitions, aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life matters, and questions about life purpose.

How Tammy uses CBT and client-centered work online
Tammy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on concrete skills - identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying different responses, and practicing small behavior changes that can reduce stress and anxiety.She also uses client-centered methods that keep the client's perspective central. That means sessions focus on what the person wants to achieve and what feels workable for them. The therapist and client look at options together and choose steps that fit the client's goals and preferences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy will talk with each person about their needs and try approaches that seem most likely to help. That collaborative process includes setting clear goals, checking progress, and adjusting techniques as needed.
