About Tammy
Tammy Franek is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, parenting struggles, career pressure, depression, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. Tammy tries to meet each person where they are and treats people with respect and compassion.
She uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters most to the client. Together they shape a plan that fits the person’s goals and everyday life.
Background and approach
Tammy draws on client-centered approaches to make sessions focused on the person's experience and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors link to feelings. That approach includes practical steps people can try between sessions to test changes and measure progress.
Tammy explains those steps in clear, actionable terms. Tammy works from Missouri and brings a quarter century of professional experience to common problems like grief, trauma, sleep or eating difficulties, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, codependency, impulsivity, and issues tied to aging.
Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs, whether that means short-term skill building or longer-term work on deeper patterns. Tammy emphasizes collaboration, gentle challenge, and steady encouragement as people work toward clearer choices and better daily functioning.

How Tammy’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes active listening and shaping sessions around the client's priorities. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and make personal choices about next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, actions, and feelings influence one another. It breaks problems into manageable parts and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, anger, depression, and behavior change work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy will talk with clients about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans as needed. That collaborative process helps decide whether client-centered talk, CBT exercises, or a mix will be most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video can support face-to-face style conversations. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text let clients share thoughts between calls and fit therapy into busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep momentum and try techniques in real time.
