About Tammara

Tammara Sand is a Licensed Master Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with ten years of experience in mental health care. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and problems with eating and sleeping.

She helps people who are coping with life changes, career stress, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Her background also includes work related to abandonment, attachment concerns, chronic illness and pain, codependency, dissociation, and family of origin issues. She has supported people through divorce and separation, domestic violence, and other traumatic events.

Tammara uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She draws from client-centered therapy to listen and respond to each person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. EMDR and mindfulness tools are part of her approach when trauma or strong emotional reactions are present.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and step-by-step changes. Conversations often include skill practice, short homework tasks, and checking how new strategies fit into daily life. The aim is to reduce symptoms that get in the way of work, parenting, sleep, and relationships.

She offers sessions in English and is based in Florida. Tammara has experience across a broad range of concerns and works with each person to decide practical next steps before proceeding.

BHow sessions work

How Tammara applies clinical approaches in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the persons priorities. It means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps shape goals based on what matters most to the client. This approach is useful for clarifying values, parenting stresses, relationship concerns, and everyday coping strategies.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors with small experiments. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and work-related stress.

EMDR is a trauma-focused method that can reduce distress from past events by processing painful memories in a structured way. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside other methods to help calm strong emotions and improve attention.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That decision can change over time as progress is reviewed.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how she conducts sessions. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit your routine and goals.
