About Tammy

Tammy Piazza is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, mood concerns, addiction-related issues, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With seven years of clinical experience, she emphasizes a person-centered stance that meets clients where they are and supports practical skill-building for coping, self-soothing, and emotion regulation. Tammy draws on therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused approaches, and EMDR when addressing trauma and complex emotional patterns.

Her work often targets stress, sleep problems, grief, anger, self-esteem, and concerns related to ADHD and attention regulation. Tammy also attends to issues that commonly accompany mood and substance concerns, including codependency, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, and challenges with life purpose.

She invites clients seeking tools for managing panic, social anxiety, or compassion fatigue to explore strategies that fit their pace and goals, and she frames therapeutic change as a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Approaches for online healing and skills-building

Tammy draws from several empirically supported approaches to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on teaching concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can help with intense emotions, impulsivity, and coping during crises. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional experience and strengthening emotional bonds, which can assist people seeking deeper processing of loss, grief, or relational pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Tammy combines a person-centered stance with these methods, exploring a client's goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques to determine what works best over time rather than prescribing a single path from the start.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to access support from home. These options enable ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and multiple ways to communicate so that clients can choose the format that best supports their progress and comfort.
