About Tammara

Tammara Rood is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in New York with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, self-esteem struggles, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder. She also addresses issues related to ADHD, addiction, grief, and intimacy-related concerns.

In sessions she focuses on practical conversation and problem-solving. She uses straightforward talk to identify recurring family patterns and how those patterns affect current choices. Clients can expect clear feedback, targeted strategies, and attention to everyday obstacles like sleep, anger, and work stress.

Her approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Those methods are used to help people notice difficult thoughts, change unhelpful habits, and improve communication with others.

Tammara pays attention to family-of-origin themes like abandonment, attachment issues, and blended family dynamics when they come up. She also addresses caregiver stress, codependency patterns, and separation or divorce concerns in practical ways.

She offers sessions in English and practices in New York. Getting started typically involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment through the online pathway described on the site.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and decide which values they want to act on. It focuses on small, practical steps toward living in line with what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early family relationships shape current expectations and interactions. It’s useful for people who want to change repeating patterns in adult relationships and family roles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit those goals. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The profile does not list specific online formats, so check current options during sign-up. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use sessions to practice new communication skills between appointments. Licensed professionals will discuss what structure and timing best match a client’s daily life.
