Tammie Ervin , LCSW

Tammie Ervin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 25 years of clinical experience practicing in Kentucky. As an LCSW she is a licensed mental health professional who provides psychotherapy and practical support to people facing a range of emotional and life challenges.

She works with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and losses, troubled relationships, trauma and abuse, declining health, and the difficulty of adjusting to major life changes. Her practice also addresses stress management, coping skills, parenting and family concerns, intimacy and relationship issues, addiction, attention differences, mood disorders, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Tammie emphasizes an environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment and where clients are encouraged to find the strength to change.

She believes that change is possible when a person has desire, support and encouragement, and she aims to offer that support in a respectful and caring way. She often cites Theodore Roosevelt: 'People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.' Tammie is not currently accepting new clients.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

She uses a range of evidence-based techniques that focus on building practical skills - for example, skills training helps people manage stress, reduce anxiety, and handle everyday emotional challenges by teaching concrete tools and coping strategies. Trauma-informed support concentrates on helping people process loss, abuse, and difficult life events at a pace that feels safe and manageable, with attention to emotional regulation and recovery. Relational and family-focused work addresses communication, parenting, intimacy and family dynamics to improve connection and resolve ongoing relationship patterns.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Tammie works with each person to identify goals, preferences and needs, and she adapts methods over time so treatment fits the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit a single technique.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from home or other convenient locations. Licensed professionals can use these options to tailor pace and format to what works best for each person.
