Dr. Tammy Sutterfield, LPC

Dr. Tammy Sutterfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people navigate major life shifts and emotional strain. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, ADHD, trauma, and intimacy-related issues. Her approach aims to be practical and respectful of each person's situation.

She draws on 12 years of clinical experience and a background in clinical psychology and behavioral health from undergraduate through doctoral study. That training informs how she builds sessions that respond to a person's immediate needs while keeping longer-term goals in view. She notes experience with alternative adult relationship structures and sexuality topics, and frames that work around individual safety and consent.

In sessions she uses a mix of methods that match what a person brings to therapy. Techniques include attachment-based work to understand relationship patterns, emotionally-focused strategies to deepen emotional awareness, and trauma-focused tools such as EMDR when appropriate. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques also appear when they suit a client's goals.

Her style is collaborative and direct. Conversations focus on practical steps for coping, problem solving, and improving day-to-day functioning. She can help people process grief, manage chronic illness or caregiver stress, and address midlife questions about meaning and purpose.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape how a person connects with others. Online work can help people notice patterns in relationships and practice new ways of responding during conversations.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and sit with emotions, then shift unhelpful interaction cycles. In telehealth sessions this often means slowing down to track feelings and try new responses in real time.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories through guided processing. When used remotely, the therapist and client work together to pace the protocol and monitor reactions closely.

Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change as therapy progresses, and adjustments are made together.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting sessions into a busy week, the ability to meet from wherever is most convenient, and options for shorter check-ins when needed. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current online and in-person options before booking so sessions match your daily routine and technical needs.
