About Tammy

Dr. Tammy Freeman is an LPC, LMHC with 21 years of clinical experience in New Jersey. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, and life changes. She also addresses issues like addictions, grief, parenting concerns, and compassion fatigue.

She began her career as an elementary school teacher and later moved into counseling. That background shows up in the straightforward, patient way she explains things. She has worked in hospitals, non-profit agencies, and private practice settings, and she draws on that variety when helping people sort through problems.

In sessions she focuses on practical conversations and clear steps. She listens first, then helps people name patterns that keep causing trouble. She uses conversation to spot small shifts that lead to better days, rather than offering quick fixes.

Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive and psychodynamic ideas. She also uses solution-focused tools to help people set short-term goals and track progress. This mix is meant to help with emotional regulation, communication problems, and recurring conflict.

People often come to her when anger shows up as snapping at loved ones, ongoing resentment, or workplace frustration. She helps clients explore the choices behind those reactions and build doable alternatives. If you want to manage temper and stress with clearer thinking and steady habits, she offers practical support to get started.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies goals for handling anger and stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It offers concrete skills for changing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which can reduce reactive anger and work stress.

Psychodynamic ideas explore past patterns that return during conflict and everyday life. That perspective can help when anger links to long-standing hurt or relationship roles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will help you decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as you make progress.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. In practical terms, that means you can schedule workday breaks or evening appointments more easily and try methods between sessions to see what helps.
