About Tammara

Tammara Rood is a New York licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience helping people address stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and a wide range of emotional concerns.

Background and approach

She supports clients coping with depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, ADHD, intimacy issues, sleep disturbance, anger, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication and codependency problems, dissociation, and domestic violence.

Rood cultivates a collaborative, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore feelings and patterns safely. Her approach draws on Internal Family Systems alongside evidence-based modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

She invites clients to take courageous steps toward greater balance and resilience, working together to define goals and practical strategies for change. Sessions reflect both respect for each client’s experience and an emphasis on building skills that support more fulfilling relationships and daily functioning.

Online Therapy Approaches and What to Expect



Internal Family Systems (IFS) views a person as made up of distinct parts that hold emotions, beliefs, and roles. Working with these parts can help resolve internal conflicts, heal trauma responses, and create more internal harmony. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility through mindfulness and committed action, often helping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns rooted in early bonds and can support work on intimacy, communication, and family dynamics.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will collaborate with each client to identify which approaches best match their goals, needs, and personal preferences. This collaborative stance helps shape an individualized plan that evolves as progress is made.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy more accessible for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These formats allow flexible scheduling, consistent access to support between appointments, and different ways to engage depending on comfort level and practical needs.
