About Tami

Tami Brugman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with two decades of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth so people can use what they learn right away.

She draws on client-centered methods to make sessions feel respectful and collaborative. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are used to identify unhelpful patterns and build new skills.

Background and approach

Hypnotherapy and mindfulness practices are also offered when they fit a person's goals and comfort level. Tami has worked in community mental health and independent practice settings. She is enrolled in a PhD program in Applied Psychophysiology at Saybrook University, which guides her interest in the mind-body connection.

Her background informs how she blends talk work with somatic-focused techniques. Sessions focus on clear goals and tools that people can try between meetings. She frames therapy as a partnership and adapts methods to match each person's situation.

The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who choose her can expect straightforward language, paced guidance, and a mix of exercises, breathing and mindfulness work, and cognitive tools. She emphasizes skills that help with daily functioning, sleep, emotion regulation, and rebuilding connection after conflict.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Many people find Hypnotherapy helpful for addressing habits, sleep issues, and stress by guiding attention and relaxation to support change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values-based action and accepting uncomfortable thoughts so people can move toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.

Choosing the most helpful approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and past experiences and then try methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone visits can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options let people pick what suits their schedule and communication style.
