Evidence-Based Therapeutic Techniques and Online Care

Tammi Hawkes-August uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skill-building and trauma-informed support. One approach emphasizes skill development for managing stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms - teaching tools for thought management, emotion regulation, and coping strategies that can reduce day-to-day distress and improve functioning. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care and recovery-focused work for addiction and past abuse, helping individuals process difficult experiences while building safety and resilience.

Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammi works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so the work fits the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy with Tammi can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or while traveling, maintain continuity of care, and access support in ways that match a person’s daily life and practical needs.
