About Tammara
Tammara Sand is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, and related challenges. Sessions are geared toward practical coping and clearer steps for daily life.
Sand emphasizes straightforward, person-focused support. She uses approaches that include client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral work to shift thinking and habits, emotion-focused work for relationship and attachment concerns, mindfulness tools to reduce reactivity, and EMDR for trauma-related symptoms. She draws from these methods to plan what to try together rather than following a fixed protocol.
Her style is direct and problem-oriented. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening at home, what patterns keep repeating, and what small changes might reduce tension. She helps people make sense of difficult feelings and then practice different behaviors between sessions.
Over her career she has worked with a range of concerns related to loss, trauma, chronic stress, and caregiving strain. That includes work around abandonment, codependency, family of origin issues, chronic illness and pain, and recovery from domestic violence or separation. She also supports people dealing with burnout and compassion fatigue.
People who come to her often want clear steps and practical tools. She encourages collaboration on goals and checks progress regularly. To start, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps clarify goals and builds on the person’s own strengths to address everyday problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It breaks issues into small, manageable steps and teaches practical exercises for anxiety, sleep, mood, and parenting stress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used for trauma-related memories and intense distress. In sessions it involves guided procedures aimed at reducing the intensity of traumatic memories and the emotions tied to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what the person experiences and wants to achieve.
