About Tammy

Tammy Franek is an LPC with 25 years of clinical experience based in Missouri who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, career strain, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and plans to fit individual circumstances rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Her style centers on empowering clients to pursue a more fulfilling, happier life by building practical skills and clearer self-understanding.

Tammy draws on client-centered principles to prioritize the client's perspective and on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Over her long career she has worked with issues that often overlap, including caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation, and she integrates those concerns into collaborative treatment planning.

Tammy frames therapy as a partnership and invites clients to take courageous first steps while she offers support and guidance. She practices in Missouri as an LPC and aims to create individualized paths toward coping, growth, and renewed purpose.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person's perspective and creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space for exploration; it helps people feel heard and shapes treatment around their values and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and reactive behaviors.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Tammy will work together with clients to assess goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time to meet evolving needs and priorities rather than following a fixed protocol.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage transportation constraints, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support and practical tools while accommodating different communication styles and comfort levels.
