About Tami
Tami Lorne is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 12 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and relationship problems. She also supports those facing parenting strain, compassion fatigue, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes.
She uses an individual approach rather than a single method. Tami meets each person where they are and tailors the work to fit their needs. Sessions focus on practical tools, clearer communication, and steps to reduce distress over time.
Background and approach
Her background includes several years working in an addiction facility and conducting evaluations in jails to connect people to treatment. She has also provided pro bono counseling to combat veterans through a veterans support program. Those roles shaped her skills in crisis response, addiction-related care, and working with people in high-stress jobs.
Tami believes in treating the person as a whole instead of reducing someone to a diagnosis. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk honestly and learn skills to move forward. Her goal is to help people gain confidence and rely less on therapy over time.
Clients can expect collaborative planning and clear, straightforward steps between sessions. Tami draws on many evidence-based techniques and chooses the strategies that fit each client’s situation and goals. She works with people dealing with life transitions, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and substance use issues.
Approaches that shape online care
Tami draws on several evidence-based techniques and adapts them to each person's situation. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress. These techniques help people build routines and handle triggers with clearer steps.Another approach emphasizes working through addiction and related behaviors by identifying patterns and creating safer choices. This work often includes relapse-prevention planning, identifying high-risk situations, and building healthier habits that fit daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so it stays useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues for more relational work while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching, or when writing things out helps clarify thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain regular contact between sessions.
