About Tammy
LMHC licensed in New York with 10 years working in the behavioral health field, Tammy Bissonnette focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. She has worked in substance use settings and community mental health over the past decade, and she brings that practical experience into sessions.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavior Therapy, motivational interviewing, and EMDR. In practice that means looking at current thoughts and behaviors, setting small goals that increase motivation, and addressing distressing memories when helpful. She uses straightforward techniques aimed at producing understandable changes week to week.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Tammy helps people identify specific steps to try between appointments and checks progress regularly. She also adapts strategies based on what is working or not working for each person.
People who consult her can expect a practical, problem-solving focus. The work emphasizes skills you can use outside session and clear goals for reducing stress, improving relationships, and managing symptoms of anxiety or depression. Her background in substance use services informs a direct, experience-based approach.

Approach-driven care and what online sessions involve
Tammy uses a few evidence-based techniques in her work. Cognitive Behavior Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Motivational interviewing helps clarify what a person wants to change and builds practical reasons to take small steps toward those goals. EMDR addresses distressing memories by processing them in structured ways that can reduce their emotional intensity.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Tammy collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their needs and adjusts the plan as progress is observed. The client’s goals, preferences, and response to techniques guide which tools are emphasized in sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when needed or choose sessions that better match their daily routine. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt techniques so they work well across different delivery methods.
