About Tammara

Tammara Rood is a New York licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting struggles, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach

She helps clients navigating trauma, grief, intimacy and sexual issues, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and life transitions by creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where difficult feelings and thoughts can be explored. Her work also addresses self-esteem, anger, sleep problems, career stress, and compassion fatigue, alongside a range of related concerns such as attachment wounds, codependency, and communication difficulties.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and emotional attunement, drawing on evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. Tammara integrates approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered therapy, CBT, and DBT skills to help clients build clarity, resilience, and more effective coping.

She invites clients to take the first courageous step toward change and offers steady support throughout the process while respecting each person’s pace and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to clarify what matters most to them and to develop psychological flexibility, using values-guided actions to address anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to mood and anxiety symptoms, offering practical tools for coping and symptom reduction. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they shape current emotional responses and interpersonal dynamics, which can help with intimacy, communication, and long-standing attachment wounds.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammara works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts techniques from these models to fit the individual’s situation. This collaborative exploration helps determine what interventions will feel most useful and sustainable over time.

Online therapy with formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and lets people access therapeutic support from different locations. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and find a communication style that fits each client’s comfort and lifestyle.
