Tammy Horn, LMHC

Tammy Horn is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience. She brings a hopeful, down-to-earth manner and a sense of humor to sessions. Tammy helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, parenting strain, relationship problems, and life transitions.

She begins by listening and building trust, then helps a person notice what is working and what causes distress. Early sessions often use a person-centered approach to map goals and priorities. From there she may introduce practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and dialectical behavior strategies to change unhelpful thinking and manage emotions.

Tammy commonly meets with people once a week for 45 minutes and sometimes offers short extra check-ins during the first month or two to support new skills. Homework and simple practice tasks are often part of the work, helping people spot core beliefs and try different responses between sessions.

Her background includes long experience with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and a broad range of relationship and family stressors. Tammy also supports people facing career changes, chronic illness challenges, and issues around identity and belonging.

She uses straightforward language and practical steps so progress can start quickly. Tammy encourages clients to pace themselves and build small, steady changes that fit daily life. The focus is on helping people feel steadier, clearer, and more able to solve problems over time.

How Tammy Uses Therapy Methods Online

Tammy draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding a person’s goals, and helping them discover their own answers through empathy and support. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when emotions feel overwhelming. DBT offers grounding, distress-tolerance, and emotion-regulation tools that are useful for managing strong reactions and improving relationships. These approaches are taught in clear steps so people can practice between meetings.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Tammy will talk with each person about their goals, daily life, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and homework that fit the person’s needs and rhythm, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm available session formats before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy routine - for example to have shorter check-ins during a break, reduce travel time, or use phone options when bandwidth is low. Tammy emphasizes practical skills and regular practice so therapy can fit into everyday life.
