About Tammy
Tammy Hicks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, depression, and life changes. Tammy also focuses on issues like emptiness, family problems, fatherhood concerns, and workplace stress.

Tammy trained at the University of Texas at Austin for her bachelor’s degree and completed a master’s degree at St. Edward’s University. She has worked in a range of settings over nearly two decades, which has shaped a flexible way of working with different life problems.
In sessions she listens for patterns that get in the way and helps people try new responses. Conversations often focus on concrete steps, short-term goals, and practical coping tools. The aim is to identify small, testable changes a person can use between meetings.
People who contact Tammy usually want clear strategies and steady guidance when stress or mood problems are getting in the way of everyday life. To begin, she asks about current challenges, what has been tried already, and what a first useful step might be.
How Tammy Uses CBT and Related Approaches Online
Tammy works from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and acting that keep problems going. CBT aims to break unhelpful cycles by testing new ways of thinking and small behavior changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and experiences. That approach focuses on listening and reflecting so the person’s priorities guide the work. Solution-focused therapy is used to set short-term, practical goals and to track small steps forward over a few sessions.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Tammy will review your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest steps to try. Together you can adjust methods if something isn’t working and focus on measurable progress.
