Tammy Hicks

Tammy Hicks is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Tammy also focuses on concerns such as emptiness, fatherhood issues, life purpose, and workplace stress. She offers straightforward support for young adults and women's issues as well.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions center on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. Tammy uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each individual. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems alive. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, achievable goals to move forward.

Tammy’s background includes a bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin and a master’s from St. Edward’s University. Across 18 years she has worked in a range of settings and with diverse people, so she is used to adapting how she works to fit different lives and schedules.

In a first session she helps people name the most pressing concern and agree on a simple next step. Conversations tend to be direct and practical, with a focus on skills that can be used between sessions. The aim is steady progress on concrete issues rather than broad promises about outcomes.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Tammy uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person. That approach helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to work on.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to help identify and change thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or stress. CBT offers concrete skills to try between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term goals and notice small changes that move a person toward their priorities.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. Tammy will discuss options with each person and help decide which combination of approaches matches their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as work progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Practical benefits of doing sessions remotely include fitting therapy into a busy day, scheduling shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. Many people find it easier to maintain steady work on goals when sessions fit into regular routines.
