You Know What You Should Do—So Why Are You Still Stuck? You're spend all your time worrying, feeling anxious, and being overwhelmed - but you're getting tired. You work hard to make everything look “fine” on the outside - but on the inside - it's a whole different story. You're gripped with fear & overthinking that you'll be "found out" - that you're not strong and fear of being seen as weak. You keep up the masquerade even though it's causing you to feel even more nervous, lonely, & disconnected. You just don't want anyone to be let down but it's coming now at a cost. You're becoming more irritable, snappy, tired, not liking the person you are becoming and longing for that person you used to be so you can peace & happiness again. Here's where I come in. I’m Tammy Brooks LMFT, a Solution Focused Brief Therapy Level 3 Practitioner. I provide online therapy for adults wanting to reduce anxiety, change habits, and make lasting change. I used a goal orientated approach that is different than typical “one-size-fits-all” therapy or therapy with endless talk, rehashing pain & no real lasting change. Using a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, we won’t dwell on what’s not working—we’ll identify what IS working and build momentum from there. In our work together, we’ll focus on your strengths, your goals, and the future you want to build. You’ll rediscover your own resilience and those practical tools that help you feel calmer, more in control, and aligned with the life you want. Ready to discover your strength—contact me today at www.destination-therapy.com or visit my channel at www.youtube.com/@TalkwithTammy and take that first step toward a brighter, more manageable tomorrow.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Therapy That Focuses on Your Strengths and on the Future You're feeling hesitant to start therapy and worried about reliving old pain, opening those old wounds or just spending all hour rehashing everything that’s gone wrong. Guess what, you’re not alone. That's painful and one of the very reasons that many people avoid starting therapy. This is where I come in. Hi, I'm Tammy Brooks. I use an evidenced based, respectful, future-oriented approach called Solution Focused Brief Therapy, (SFBT). SFBT is an approach developed in the 1980s by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg that is a proven, evidence-based model that works across cultures and concerns. In our therapy sessions, we will create meaningful change without getting stuck in the past, or spend all hour talking about all the problems, reliving the hurts. I am not a therapist that will sit there with a head nod or spend all the time talking. I listen very intently to what you are saying, then think very carefuly about that question that will help provide insight, make a difference, and begin that healing process. Many clients tell me that this process helps them feel deeply understood, respected, and capable of change. You won’t be pathologized or retraumatized here—just supported, empowered, and guided toward the life you want to live. I’m here to help you move forward finding clarity, not just conversation and a head nod. As a certified Level 3 SFBT practitioner, I specialize in asking the kinds of precise, change-oriented questions that gently challenge old thinking and open doors to new possibilities. By using Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)—a goal-oriented approach, we will work together getting to the heart of what you want - a change. We will not just rehash the past all hour or spend months stuck in what’s gone wrong. We will spend our online therapy sessions getting you moved forward. I know you are here to feel better. Let's get you there as quickly as possible. In our online therapy sessions, we’ll focus on your strengths, goals, and the future version of yourself that feels lost right now. Rather than spending time reliving painful memories, we will focus on what’s already working, and explore the future you want to build—one step at a time. I’ll ask meaningful questions to help you reflect, shift your mindset, and discover the tools to build a calmer, more manageable life. If you’re looking for online therapy in California, Connecticut, Michigan, Missouri, or Texas that’s goal-focused, strength-based, and deeply human, you’re in the right place. Real progress isn’t about more stars or cheaper sessions—it’s about finding the right fit! You came here to feel better. Join me today in a structured, effective path to change that respects your time, values your strengths, and gets results. Let’s build the life you’ve been imagining and get you there—faster. Discover how effective and empowering solution focused brief therapy can be. Book your virtual therapy session today and experience a new way forward—one that feels respectful, clear, and full of hope.
