About Tammara
Tammara Rood is a licensed marriage and family therapist in New York with 14 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addiction, grief, and relationship or parenting challenges. She creates an accepting space where clients can speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings.
She focuses on practical steps to reduce daily distress. That might mean learning simple strategies to sleep better, building tools to manage anger, or improving communication around family issues. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented, with the client steering what matters most.
Tammara draws from several evidence-informed approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, and Attachment-Based ideas for relationship and abandonment issues. She also brings skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered work when helpful.
Her background includes many years helping people with self-esteem, motivation, co-occurring concerns, and coping during life changes. She pays attention to patterns that keep problems going, such as codependency, control issues, or communication breakdowns. Her style is warm, direct, and steady.
To begin, she encourages people to consider what they most want to change and to take a single small step toward it. The first meetings focus on practical priorities, clear goals, and steps that can fit into a busy life.
How these approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It can be useful for managing sleep, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep disruption. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns, and family communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides which methods are used and how sessions are paced, so clients feel involved in deciding the plan.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats are better for focused skills practice, while others support longer discussion. The goal is to match the format and therapeutic approach to everyday life and practical needs rather than promising a particular service.
