About Tammi

Tammi Rider is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with 30 years of experience. She works with adults on common life strains like stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and relationship difficulties. Her practice also addresses parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Over three decades Tammi has worked across inpatient and outpatient settings, private practice, schools, home health, and hospice. That variety gives her practical perspective on everyday problems. She draws on straightforward tools people can use between sessions to manage mood, cravings, or panic and to handle changes at work or home.

Her style is grounded in client-centered work and mindfulness. She listens for what a person wants to change and then offers concrete steps and short exercises. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features in sessions when people want to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Tammi also uses existential and Jungian ideas to help people reflect on meaning, values, and identity. Those approaches are used alongside more direct skills when clients face life transitions or struggle with loss and trauma. She aims to help people name what matters, identify barriers, and try manageable next steps.

If someone is considering work on relationships, recovery from substance issues, parenting stress, or anxiety, Tammi focuses on practical strategies paired with reflective conversation. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. It aims to help people clarify goals and find their own solutions through supportive conversation and practical feedback. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by using short exercises and behavior experiments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammi will collaborate with a client to decide which methods to use based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying straightforward skills first and shaping the approach as progress and priorities emerge.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a longer in-person visit would be hard. It can also make it simpler to practice mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets between sessions and to review progress together during scheduled appointments.
