About Tammara

Tammara Rood is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in New York. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or stuck after life changes. She supports those coping with relationship and family tensions, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, grief, trauma, and concerns related to addiction, sleep, anger, or attention differences.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they really think and feel. Sessions are practical and focused on small, steady changes that make daily life easier. Tammara emphasizes clear communication and helps people build routines that support emotional stability.

Her work draws on approaches that target thoughts, feelings, and behavior. She blends methods that encourage acceptance of difficult emotions while teaching skills to manage overwhelming responses. She also pays attention to attachment patterns and how past relationships shape present interactions.

Across 14 years in practice she has worked with many people facing family strains, breakup and separation, caregiver stress, and codependency. She also supports those dealing with bipolar symptoms, disruptive mood concerns, dissociation, and the effects of domestic violence. Her experience includes helping people with blended family issues and the challenges of autism and Asperger Syndrome.

Taking the first step can be hard. Tammara focuses on collaboration and steady progress, helping clients set clear goals and try manageable strategies between sessions. She invites prospective clients to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time to talk.

How therapeutic approaches work in online care

This therapist uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change repeating patterns in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the work collaborative and practical.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and lower the burden of travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone avoid being on camera if that feels better. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice so the work still feels useful when done remotely.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
