About Tammy

Tammy Threatts is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of practice based in Louisiana. She focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and related struggles by drawing on thoughtful, evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused approaches.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes healing from past wounds while supporting clients in making meaningful changes for today and tomorrow. With training grounded in social work and extensive real-world experience, Tammy integrates mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people reframe painful stories, reduce distressing symptoms, and build practical coping strategies.

She pays attention to a wide range of concerns including intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, mood disorders, obsessive patterns, and experiences of prejudice or multicultural stress. Tammy approaches each case with steady professional care, aiming to match therapeutic tools to the individual’s needs and goals.

Approaches and Online Care to Support Healing



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that maintain distress by teaching concrete skills for managing symptoms and testing new ways of responding.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing impact. This approach combines practical coping strategies with steps to safely revisit and reframe difficult memories so daily functioning and emotional well-being can improve.

Finding the right approach is collaborative and may evolve over time. Tammy will work with each person to weigh their needs, goals, and preferences and to adapt methods accordingly so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. This range of formats makes it possible to maintain continuity of care from varied locations and to choose the way of working that feels most helpful for progress.
