About Tammy
Tammy Vermeer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar concerns, and coping with life changes.
Tammy works in a straightforward, conversational way. Sessions involve looking at thoughts, habits, and responses that keep problems repeating. She listens to the personal story and helps identify small, practical steps to change how someone responds to tough situations.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered ideas to help clients clarify values and build consistent habits. Narrative techniques and hypnotherapy are available as additional tools when they fit the person’s goals.
In sessions Tammy talks through what has happened and what the client wants to do differently. She helps set clear, short-term goals and checks progress from one meeting to the next. Work often includes simple exercises to practice between sessions so change carries into everyday life.
Clients can expect a steady, practical focus on what’s happening now and what can be changed. Tammy aims to help people recognize patterns, try concrete alternatives, and develop reliable ways to manage symptoms and stress over time.
How Tammy uses CBT, ACT, and client-centered work online
Tammy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT involves tracking thoughts and behaviors, testing beliefs with experiments, and practicing new habits to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify personal values and commit to small actions that reflect those values. Client-centered methods keep the conversation focused on the person's priorities and what matters to them now.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Tammy will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods over time. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT exercises, ACT values work, narrative reflection, or brief hypnotherapy fits a client's needs.
The practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into busy days. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Remote options can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and let someone join from a quieter location or during a work break. Sessions can be scheduled to match daily life while keeping the same goal-focused, skill-based approach Tammy uses in person.
