About Tammi

Tammi Rider uses a client-centered approach to guide people through stress, anxiety, addictions, and life changes. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience. Tammi writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She listens first and helps identify small, manageable goals. Sessions often include tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to build calm and attention in everyday moments.

Background and approach

Tammi’s background includes work in inpatient and outpatient settings, schools, home health, hospice, and independent practice. That variety shaped a flexible style that adapts to different needs and life stages. She has helped people facing grief, trauma, relationship concerns, parenting stresses, and addiction recovery.

In conversations she blends psychodynamic and existential ideas to help people make meaning from difficult feelings. She also draws on Jungian perspectives when dreams or deep symbolism become part of healing. The focus is on practical change combined with understanding what matters most to the person in front of her.

Tammi supports people who want concrete strategies and personal insight. Her sessions aim to strengthen coping, improve relationships, and restore balance after major changes. She works with English-speaking clients in Louisiana and accepts international clients for online therapy.

Online support

How Tammi’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Tammi blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people set their own goals, which supports stress reduction and relationship work. Cognitive behavioral therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear tools for anxiety, depression, and addiction recovery. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve daily coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tammi will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit your life. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize practical CBT tools, mindful exercises, or deeper exploratory work from psychodynamic and existential perspectives.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for longer sessions that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines.
