About Tammie
Tammie Ervin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship strain. Her work also includes support for parenting stress, career concerns, sleep problems, and challenges such as addiction and ADHD.
She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. In sessions she creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through their thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Tammie listens for what matters most to a person and helps set clear, realistic goals. She encourages small changes that add up to better day-to-day functioning and stronger coping skills. Her background spans two and a half decades of direct clinical practice in Kentucky.
That experience has given her familiarity with common life stresses and complex losses, including compassion fatigue and bipolar disorder concerns. She draws on approaches that focus on problem solving and emotion management to help people move forward. Tammie believes change comes when someone has desire, encouragement, and practical support.
She aims to build a collaborative working relationship that respects each person’s pace. Theodore Roosevelt’s line, "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care," guides her attitude in sessions. People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation and concrete strategies.
Sessions often include skills you can use right away and steps for handling difficult moments. The goal is steady progress toward a more manageable, more satisfying life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Many people benefit from approaches that teach concrete skills for managing emotions and solving practical problems. One common method focuses on building coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching breathing, grounding, and thought management techniques that reduce distress in the moment and over time. Another emphasizes problem-solving and behavioral change to address patterns that get in the way of daily functioning, such as sleep disruption, substance use, or career strain. These methods are useful for grief, relationship challenges, and adjustment to life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust as needed. That means trying practical steps together, reviewing what helps, and shifting methods when something isn’t working to find a better fit.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let you read facial expressions and have a longer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when looking for a simple check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, real-time coping support, and flexible check-ins during a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and other commitments.
