About Tammara
Tammara Rood is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in New York with 14 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family and parenting conflicts, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, trauma and grief. She also supports people dealing with codependency patterns, attachment questions, and challenges related to intimacy and communication.
Tammara aims for straightforward conversation in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people clarify their values and next steps. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings, such as emotion regulation, clearer communication, and small behavioral changes.
Her work draws on several evidence-based approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try out different behaviors. Attachment-based ideas inform discussions about relationship patterns and how early experiences affect trust and closeness.
Tammara often blends these methods to fit a person's situation. Expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and checking how strategies worked in daily life. She invites honest feedback so the plan can shift if something isn’t helpful.
People seeking help for codependency-related habits - such as chronic people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of self in relationships - may find this approach practical and direct. The initial steps involve naming patterns, setting small goals, and building skills that support clearer boundaries and healthier choices.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then pick actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, codependency patterns, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how situations feel and unfold. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at recurring relationship patterns and how early bonds shape expectations and closeness, which can be helpful for intimacy issues and communication problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tammara will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can shift if something isn’t working or a different focus is needed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, they can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a work break, or avoid having to be on camera if that helps someone stay focused. Licensed professionals can still practice the same skill training, behavioral experiments, and reflective conversation over distance, so the focus stays on what the client wants to change and how to get there.
