About Tammara
Tammara Rood is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, practicing in New York with 14 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns, relationship strain, stress, anxiety, and self-esteem problems. She also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people talk through family conflict, parenting strain, and communication problems. She works on coping skills for anger, sleep, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, and blended family challenges.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is applied to clarify values and take manageable steps toward them. Attachment-Based work looks at how early patterns affect current relationships.
Sessions are client-centered in tone, meaning the persons experience guides the work and topics are addressed at a practical pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills may be added when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. She also incorporates emotionally-focused ideas when intimacy and connection are central concerns.
Tammara aims to help adults untangle relationship patterns, reduce overwhelm, and find clearer ways to handle parenting and family demands. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the service's intake steps to schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters to them. It uses simple exercises to move toward chosen values even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying thinking patterns that lead to distress and trying small behavior changes to improve mood and routines.Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns and goals and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can change as sessions unfold so the work stays relevant to your situation and what you want to accomplish.

They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when days are busy, and let people meet with a licensed professional from a location that fits their schedule.
