About Tammy
Tammy Bonnici is a Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and people rethinking career or life purpose. Tammy also supports those dealing with trauma and compassion fatigue.
Tammy trained at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs where she completed a Master’s in Community Counseling. Over more than a decade she has worked with clients on substance use and recovery, trauma from abuse, anger management, and the emotional fallout of major life changes. Her background includes work in addiction-related settings alongside broader mental health care.
In sessions Tammy uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. She also draws on existential ideas to talk through meaning and life direction, and uses mindfulness skills to reduce stress and bring attention to the present moment.
Her style is direct and open. She aims to be non-judgmental and honest while helping people clarify goals and next steps. Conversations focus on what matters now and what small changes might make daily life feel more manageable.
Tammy works with issues tied to attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, workplace problems, HIV/AIDS, and women’s health concerns. She welcomes discussions about midlife transitions and exploring life purpose as part of broader counseling work.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit
Tammy commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness approaches. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce stress and respond to strong emotions with more choice.She also draws on client-centered work that keeps the conversation focused on the person’s own goals and experiences. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Tammy will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and then try approaches that match the client’s situation.
The practical aim of online sessions is to fit counseling into everyday life. Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online meetings can make it easier to schedule a shorter check-in during a break, avoid travel time, or choose a session that does not require a camera for times with lower bandwidth. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices for remote work so clients can apply tools between sessions.
