About Tammara
Tammara Rood is a licensed marriage and family therapist in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and grief. She brings 14 years of experience to conversations about self-esteem, motivation, addiction, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She creates a calm space where people can speak honestly and feel heard. Her approach is practical and relationship-focused.
She draws on the Gottman Method for work on communication and connection, and uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Tammara centers attachment ideas in sessions to understand how early bonds affect current patterns. She uses client-centered listening to make sure each person’s goals shape the work.
Sessions focus on small, doable steps that fit everyday life. She has supported people dealing with trauma, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, and mood disorders including depression and bipolar symptoms.
Additional focuses include attachment wounds, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and issues around commitment and communication. Tammara practices in New York and holds an LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
People meet her when they want structured skills, clearer communication, and steadier emotional responses.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
She blends the Gottman Method with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide online work. The Gottman Method focuses on practical ways to improve communication and reduce conflict, which can help people wanting clearer conversations and less reactivity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and still make choices that match their values, useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns to understand why certain responses come up now and to develop more supported ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters to you, discuss options, and try methods that match your goals and preferences. Over time the plan is adjusted based on what helps most in your daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for teaching skills and practicing conversations. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when you need to fit a session into a short break. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to connect when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help make regular work on goals more manageable.
