About Tammy
Dr. Tammy Sutterfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and ADHD. She offers direct, practical support for people facing life changes, addiction concerns, relationship or intimacy issues, and trauma.
Her style aims to be calm and straightforward so clients can focus on next steps. She trained in clinical psychology and behavioral health at undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels. Over 12 years in practice she has worked with people with a wide range of concerns, including chronic illness, caregiver stress, cancer, and aging and geriatric issues.
Background and approach
She also supports people navigating non-traditional sexual cultures, kink, and polyamory-related questions. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and choices. She uses emotionally-focused methods to help people name emotions and connect that to what they want to change.
For trauma, she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and trauma-focused techniques when appropriate. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her approach when someone needs tools for self-regulation or to build motivation for change. Sessions emphasize realistic goals, gentle skill-building, and actions that fit a person’s life.
Dr. Sutterfield practices from Colorado and conducts sessions in English. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and adapts the work as people’s needs shift.

How these approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based therapy looks at how past and current relationships influence feelings and behavior. Online sessions use conversation to identify patterns and try new ways of relating that feel more helpful. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift core emotions in relationships; it is practical for people wanting clearer emotional communication and stronger connections. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process upsetting memories and reduce their intensity; when used online it can involve guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation adapted for remote work.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable, then recommend which methods to try. People often combine approaches over time as needs change and progress emerges.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when video isn’t possible, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful.
