Dr. Tammy Sutterfield, LPC

Dr. Tammy Sutterfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She works with adults on relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction and process behaviors, ADHD, and issues that arise with aging and geriatric changes. Tammy uses clear, direct conversation to help people sort priorities and find manageable next steps.

She draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to match what a person needs at the time. Sessions often focus on improving emotional connection, processing trauma, and building day-to-day coping skills. Tammy also brings experience supporting people who explore nontraditional sexual and relationship styles and those coping with chronic illness, cancer, or caregiving strain.

Tammy has practiced for 12 years and holds the LPC credential. Her background includes graduate study in clinical psychology and behavioral health, plus applied work through specialty training programs in adult sexual health and relationships. She combines that experience into practical strategies for clients.

In sessions she listens for patterns in how emotions and relationships show up, then helps people try different ways of responding. Work can include emotion-focused conversation, mindfulness exercises, and targeted trauma processing when it fits the person’s goals. The aim is clearer choices and less overwhelm in daily life.

People who reach out can expect a straightforward, collaborative process. Tammy invites clients to set goals together and revisits progress as needs change.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. In practice this means noticing patterns in close relationships and trying new ways of connecting to reduce repeated conflict or withdrawal. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift strong emotions that drive relationship problems; sessions guide people to recognize vulnerable feelings and respond differently. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method for processing traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming and disruptive to daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try a method, and adjust as progress is seen. This lets the work change if different tools would help more at a given time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins, weekday evening appointments, or avoiding travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to offer consistent care, practice mindfulness exercises, process emotions verbally, and guide trauma-focused interventions when appropriate.
