About Tammy

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience, Tammy Vermeer helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, family-related strain, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Tammy writes in straightforward terms and listens for the story each person brings. She asks about how symptoms show up day to day and what the person wants to change. Sessions focus on practical steps and on talking through past events when that helps explain current reactions.

Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, hypnotherapy, and narrative therapy. That means sessions can include examining unhelpful thoughts, practicing new behaviors, clarifying values, and looking at the stories people tell about themselves. Hypnotherapy and narrative techniques are used when those approaches fit the person’s goals.

Tammy keeps language simple in sessions and aims for concrete takeaways people can use between meetings. She helps people name patterns, try small experiments, and notice results so they can decide next steps. Progress is paced to the person’s needs.

Clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and Tammy does not work with international clients at this time.

How her approaches fit into online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action aligned with those values. Online sessions can guide thought exercises and behavioral experiments that clients practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions this often means tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and refining coping skills together. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving space for people to tell their story while the therapist reflects and supports their choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy will discuss which methods seem most useful based on a person’s goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and may include trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting if needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists often adapt exercises so they work over distance, such as assigning brief at-home practices, using written worksheets, or pacing session tasks to suit someone’s daily routine.
