About Tammy
Tammy Quarles is an MS Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 23 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, career changes, parenting strain, grief, anger, and issues such as ADHD and compassion fatigue. Tammy lists guilt and shame among her additional focus areas and often helps people who are carrying difficult feelings from relationships, faith, or life choices.
She uses a collaborative, client-centered approach that treats the person as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, setting realistic goals, and building practical skills to cope with everyday pressures. Tammy blends mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques to help clients notice patterns and try small changes that can make daily life more manageable.
Tammy brings two decades of work helping people navigate career transitions and family-related stress without assuming she knows the answers. She asks questions, listens for what matters most, and helps clarify next steps. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox when people feel stuck or unsure about change.
Sessions tend to emphasize concrete tools - brief strategies for calming in moments of panic, steps to manage impulsivity, and ways to practice self-directed forgiveness if that is a goal. She also supports people facing life events such as postpartum challenges, caregiving strain, or financial stress. The focus is on practical coping rather than labels.
People seeking help are invited to consider whether working through guilt or shame fits into their goals. Tammy encourages a steady, step-by-step pace and practical exercises between sessions to build momentum and confidence.
How Tammy’s approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s priorities first. The therapist listens, reflects what matters to the client, and helps shape goals based on the client’s experience. This approach is useful for people carrying guilt, shame, life changes, or career stress.Mindfulness Therapy teaches short, practical ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. These exercises can help in moments of panic, rumination, or intense self-criticism by giving concrete practices to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammy will work together with the client to identify which methods feel most helpful and adjust them over time. The client’s needs, values, and goals guide the plan rather than a fixed protocol.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or enabling work during a lunch break. Confirm available session formats and scheduling details so sessions can be arranged to match everyday routines.
