About Tammy
Tammy Frossard is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois who brings 15 years of experience to her work with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and challenges related to parenting.
Background and approach
She emphasizes that seeking counseling is a courageous decision and frames therapy as a practical step toward reducing problems that interfere with daily functioning.
Her practice addresses a broad range of related concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication and control difficulties, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, midlife transitions, and money and financial issues.
Tammy approaches these topics through evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each client’s situation. She encourages clients to view counseling as a collaborative effort and to recognize their own resilience as part of the change process.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Tammy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns of thinking and behavior and on processing difficult experiences. Cognitive-based approaches help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and impulsivity. Trauma-informed techniques assist in processing past harm and building coping skills to reduce the ongoing impact of trauma and abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and occurs collaboratively. Tammy works with each person to clarify goals, try approaches that match their needs and preferences, and adjust methods over time so treatment feels relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, and offer multiple ways to communicate so clients can choose the method that best supports their engagement and progress.
