Tammy Adams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship troubles, and grief.

She trained at the University of Louisville for her master's degree and earned a bachelor’s at the University of Kentucky. Tammy has 17 years working in community mental health and spent three years at the Cabinet for Families and Children.

Background and approach

That history includes work in inpatient and outpatient settings, jails, and programs for medically complex people. Tammy often combines client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness tools. She focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions, like changing unhelpful thought patterns and building small habits.

Sessions are interactive and based on where each person is right now. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, trauma, parenting stress, ADHD, and substance use. Tammy also addresses blended family issues, caregiver strain, chronic illness, codependency, and communication problems.

She emphasizes validation and clears away self-blame so people can take the next step.

Online support

Approach-driven care delivered online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. The therapist creates space for people to say how they feel and helps them set goals based on their priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and coping with life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These skills are helpful for anger, relationship strain, impulsive behavior, and intense emotions.

Tammy treats approach selection as collaborative work. She will talk through goals, try methods that match a person's needs, and adjust plans as progress or obstacles appear. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process, not a single upfront choice.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and real-time skill practice. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a work break. Chat and text allow brief updates, note sharing, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
