Online Therapy in San Diego and California
Tammy Brooks, LMFT, providing solution-focused online therapy for adults and couples.
Looking for online therapy in San Diego or convenient online counseling in California? I'm Tammy Brooks, LMFT, a licensed marriage and family therapist offering Solution-Focused Brief Therapy for adults and couples. As a Level 3 Certified Solution-Focused Practitioner, I work collaboratively with clients to identify their hopes for therapy, recognize their strengths, and explore practical steps toward meaningful change.
Online therapy gives you the opportunity to meet from a private, comfortable space without traveling to an office. Whether you're seeking individual therapy or help with relationship concerns, we can focus on what you want to be different and how to begin moving in that direction.
How Online Therapy Can Help
You may be dealing with anxiety, feeling stuck, navigating a difficult life transition, or experiencing recurring challenges in your relationship. You might know you want something to change but feel unsure how to get there.
In our online therapy sessions, we won't focus only on what's going wrong. Using a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy approach, I'll ask questions to help you clarify your goals, identify what's already working, and recognize strengths and resources you may have overlooked.
Together, we'll explore questions such as:
What are your best hopes for therapy?
What would you like to be different in your life or relationship?
When have you handled a similar challenge successfully?
What small steps could move you closer to the change you want?
You don't need to have all the answers before starting therapy. We can begin with what matters most to you and build from there.
Solution-Focused Online Therapy for Adults and Couples
My approach is collaborative and future-focused. Rather than repeatedly revisiting every problem, we'll pay attention to your hopes, goals, past successes, and possibilities for change.
Online therapy for individuals: Explore anxiety, life transitions, personal challenges, and the changes you want to make in your life.
Online therapy for couples: Work toward better communication, a stronger connection, and a clearer understanding of what each of you hopes to change in your relationship.
Every person and relationship is different. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore what works for you and identify meaningful next steps at a pace that fits your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) take different approaches to helping people make changes. CBT often focuses on recognizing and challenging unhelpful thought patterns and exploring how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy focuses on your hopes for therapy, the changes you want to make, your existing strengths, and what is already working in your life. Rather than spending most of our time analyzing problems, we work together to identify practical steps toward your goals.
SFBT is designed to be brief and goal-oriented, although the number of sessions varies depending on your needs and progress. As a Level 3 Certified Solution-Focused Practitioner, I use this approach to help clients identify what they want to be different and build on their strengths to move toward meaningful change.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) emphasizes the present and the future, focusing on what you hope to change and how you would like your life to be different.

As a Level 3 Certified Solution-Focused Practitioner, I’ll ask questions to help you clarify your goals, recognize times when things have gone better, and identify practical steps toward meaningful change.
