About Tammy
Tammy O'Rourke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an LCSW-C credential in Maryland and 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, family conflict, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses patterns like codependency, abandonment concerns, blended family issues, and problems with communication or commitment.
Tammy keeps conversations direct and practical. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and helps name what is happening. People can expect clear steps to try between sessions and straightforward discussion about what is and isn’t working.
Her work covers common mood concerns and adjustment issues, including seasonal affective disorder, guilt and shame, isolation, and midlife questions. She has experience with veteran and armed forces issues and with coping after natural or human-caused disasters. Tammy pays attention to how relationships and roles affect daily stress and coping.
Sessions focus on skills people can use right away, such as communication practices, boundary-setting, and problem-solving approaches. She adapts conversation and plans to each person’s situation rather than following a fixed script. The emphasis is on practical changes that reduce overwhelm and improve everyday functioning.
Tammy provides services in English and practices in Maryland. If you are considering therapy, be prepared to complete an initial questionnaire and schedule a first session to start the process.
How sessions work
Evidence-based tools and remote sessions
Tammy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for managing anxiety and mood. That includes breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies to reduce daily stress and improve energy. Another approach looks at relationship and behavior patterns that keep people stuck. This helps people recognize codependent or people-pleasing habits and practice different ways of communicating and setting limits.Finding the right method is part of the work. Tammy will help figure out which techniques fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She treats this as a collaboration, checking in and adjusting plans as progress and challenges emerge.
