About Tammy
Tammy White is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with 14 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, substance use concerns, grief, relationship and family difficulties, and parenting challenges. Tammy also supports people dealing with self-esteem, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, anger, career changes, ADHD, and other life adjustments.
Her approach is practical and direct. She listens to the immediate problem, then works with the person to try specific strategies that address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Tammy uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, existential ideas, and client-centered work depending on the situation.
Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings. That can include thought records, behavioral experiments, grounding exercises, or emotion regulation techniques. Tammy checks in about what helps and what does not, and adjusts the plan as needed.
She has experience in individual, family, and group settings. Tammy aims to make the first steps straightforward: clarify what matters now, set short-term goals, and practice concrete changes. Her background in social work informs a practical focus on coping and daily functioning.

How Tammy uses structured approaches online
Tammy commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. DBT emphasizes practical emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for situations that feel overwhelming.She also uses client-centered principles to keep the process collaborative. That means she will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust based on what the person finds helpful. Deciding which methods to use is a joint process rather than a one-size-fits-all decision.
The online format can make it easier to fit brief, regular sessions into a busy week and to practice skills in real-life settings between meetings. If you plan to book, confirm which session formats are currently offered before scheduling. The intake and early sessions focus on clarifying goals and choosing practical steps to try between meetings, so online work can support steady, skill-based progress without assuming a specific format.
