About Tammara
Tammara Rood is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in New York with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and issues with self-esteem and motivation. She also supports clients coping with trauma, grief, addiction, bipolar disorder, sleep problems, anger, and major life changes.
Rood uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In sessions she focuses on identifying difficult emotions and the patterns that keep them active. She helps people name what they are feeling and notice how those feelings shape interactions and choices.
Her style emphasizes straightforward conversation and practical strategies. Sessions often include talking about current problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes to test what helps. She works with clients to build clearer communication and stronger emotional awareness.
Rood also addresses longstanding issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and communication problems. She draws on ACT and CBT tools to help with coping skills, and on attachment-informed ideas to look at relational patterns.
People who contact her can expect a direct, collaborative approach that mixes emotional exploration with skill-building. To begin, clients follow the site's matching and scheduling steps and arrange an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and naming emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. It helps people see how emotions drive reactions and supports clearer, more connected ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match personal values; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide whether EFT, ACT, or attachment-informed ideas fit best based on goals and preferences. That decision can be reviewed and adjusted as sessions progress so the plan reflects what is helping.
Session logistics and formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. They also let clients use audio-only or video depending on what works better for a given day or bandwidth. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so the chosen option matches your routine and needs.
