About Tammi

Tammi Rider brings a client-centered and integrative style to therapy, blending practical tools with deeper exploration to support change and resilience. With 30 years of experience as an LCSW in Louisiana, she draws on cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, existential, and Jungian perspectives to tailor work to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes empowerment through information and concrete strategies while also attending to personal meaning and emotional patterns. Rider’s background spans inpatient and outpatient treatment, independent practice, schools, home health, and hospice settings, which informs her work with depression, anxiety, stress, substance use recovery, trauma, grief, and behavioral concerns in young people.

She also addresses relationship difficulties, parenting, intimacy, self-esteem, career and coaching topics, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Clients seeking both practical problem-solving and opportunities for deeper self-understanding may find her blend of skill-building and reflective inquiry useful.

Known for a compassionate, respectful stance, she begins by learning each person’s story and priorities, then co-creates goals and interventions that foster healing, growth, and a more balanced life.

Integrative Approaches and Online Care

Tammi Rider commonly uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the client's goals guide the process; this approach focuses on empathy, listening, and supporting the person’s own capacity for change. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and practical life challenges. Mindfulness therapy is included as well and encourages present-moment awareness and stress reduction through simple practices that complement skill-based work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and she works together with clients to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That cooperative process allows techniques to be adjusted over time, combining practical tools with exploratory work when deeper emotional patterns or questions of meaning arise.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for busy schedules and geographic distance. These formats make it possible to access consistent care while balancing everyday responsibilities and can support ongoing skill practice between meetings.
