Tammy Mayer , LPC

Tammy Mayer is a licensed professional counselor with seven years of experience in the mental health field, practicing in both Oklahoma and Texas. She has provided care across residential programs, outpatient clinics, in-home services, and school-based settings, supporting people with a wide range of clinical needs.

Her commitment to counseling grew from a community crisis following an F-5 tornado, when she witnessed children, adolescents, and adults struggling to name and discuss their trauma. That experience prompted her to pursue a counseling degree and obtain licensure. Tammy holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - which authorizes her to provide therapeutic services. She is also a Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) Practitioner, a training that emphasizes building trust and addressing attachment-related needs for youth who have experienced disruption in caregiving.

Tammy specializes in working with adolescents and young adults facing emotional challenges such as anger, anxiety, depression, school difficulties, and mood instability. She takes a warm, interactive approach that centers respect and relationship-building, believing that connection and trust are essential for meaningful progress. Tammy emphasizes teaching clients how their brains respond to stress so they can better manage feelings and behaviors.

She uses individualized interventions and adapts techniques when traditional approaches have not worked, aiming to make therapy engaging and suited to each person. Tammy seeks to accompany young people through difficult times and support them in finding lasting healing and greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Tammy integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy into her work online. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on building secure connections and addressing attachment-related needs, which can be especially helpful for young people with adoption, foster care, or relational disruptions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping skills for issues like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering tools for managing intense emotions and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tammy works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions to each individual, combining techniques as appropriate and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Tammy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access care from home or school, and choose the format that feels most comfortable while working with a licensed professional and therapist.
