About Tammy
Tammy White is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Mexico with 14 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, substance use concerns, and relationship and family difficulties. Tammy also addresses sleep and eating issues, anger, mood concerns, and worries about life purpose and isolation.
She aims to build a straightforward working rapport so clients can speak openly about thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical conversation and learning skills to manage distress. Tammy uses clear, down-to-earth language and keeps sessions focused on what is happening at home and in daily life.
Her approach combines client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are brought in when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed.
For trauma-related concerns she may incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and she also draws on existential ideas when people want to examine meaning and values. The work often includes checking practical routines like sleep and eating, and addressing attachment or family problem patterns that affect daily life.
Tammy has experience working one-on-one and with groups and families in past roles. She encourages people to take the next step when they are ready and to use therapy as a way to get clearer about manageable changes at home and in relationships.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions are handled
Tammy blends client-centered work with structured techniques to help people manage daily life and relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can make sense of what matters to them and decide on personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches tools to spot and change thought patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood, and to test new behaviors at home.When strong emotions or self-regulation are central, Tammy brings in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to build concrete coping strategies for stress and anger. For trauma and abuse concerns she may use EMDR alongside these methods to address distress tied to traumatic memories. She discusses options and works with each person to choose which approaches to try first.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Tammy will help identify goals, try approaches, and adjust them based on what the client reports is working. That process includes practical planning for routines like sleep, eating, and caregiving that affect everyday functioning.
