About Tammy
Tammy Hicks is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier and helps people navigate work-related strain and life changes. Tammy speaks English and practices in Texas.
She keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. Tammy listens first to understand what feels most urgent, then partners with each person to set clear goals. She uses familiar methods from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide conversations and plan small experiments people can try between sessions.
Tammy trained in Texas and completed a bachelor’s degree at the University of Texas at Austin and a master’s degree at St. Edward’s University. Over nearly two decades she has worked in a range of settings and with many kinds of problems. That breadth gives her practical ideas for workplace stress, parenting strains, and transitions into young adulthood.
In a typical session she helps identify unhelpful thoughts, try new ways of reacting, and build brief, achievable steps toward clearer routines. She pays attention to how work and wellbeing interact, and supports people through career-related stress and questions about life purpose.
Tammy aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people feel heard and can speak honestly about hard things. She encourages small changes that add up over time and collaborates on plans that fit each person’s daily life.
Approaches that shape online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person as they are. It emphasizes empathy and respect, and it helps when someone needs a space to talk through feelings and make sense of their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety or lift mood.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on goals and practical steps. Instead of digging only into the past, it identifies what is already working and builds simple, achievable steps toward clearer routines and better coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That might mean trying CBT tools for anxious thinking, using client-centered conversations to sort values, or setting small solution-focused tasks between sessions.
Session options are not listed here, so confirm current online formats before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals tailor session length and pacing to help therapy fit real life without creating extra strain.
