Dr. Tammy Freeman, LPC, LMHC

Dr. Tammy Freeman is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 21 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. She also supports those facing trauma, grief, addiction, career strain, and problems with self-esteem or life transitions.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions are conversational and aimed at clarifying what matters most to the client. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping.

Dr. Freeman has worked in hospital settings, nonprofit agencies, and private practice. That variety shaped how she listens and plans care. She emphasizes small, achievable changes rather than sweeping promises of overnight fixes.

In the room she often helps people define what happiness or meaning looks like for them. She guides clients to build skills for managing anger, addiction, caregiving stress, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues connected to adoption, blended families, aging, and first responder or veteran experiences.

Sessions are available to people in New Jersey and are conducted in English. Dr. Freeman encourages a steady, collaborative process where clients set goals and track progress at their own pace.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Freeman uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety, depression, or addiction and then practice different, healthier responses. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her work, which means she focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals and values before suggesting changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide whether CBT, client-centered work, or a mix of methods fits best. Goals, personal preferences, and the issues you bring guide that decision rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit everyday life. Video is useful for deeper conversations and face-to-face feedback. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and texting work well for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when scheduling needs to be flexible. These options let people get consistent support while balancing work, family, and other demands.
