Background and approach

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when emotions feel overwhelming or get in the way of close relationships. Tabitha also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support coping, increase focus, and find realistic next steps. She often combines these methods so each session fits what the person needs that week.

Sessions look at everyday problems like parenting stress, career decisions, and managing life changes. Her background includes long-term work with individuals who face trauma, chronic illness, caregiving stress, blended family issues, and adoption or foster care questions. Tabitha aims to help clients build skills they can use after sessions end and to reduce patterns that cause repeated pain.

Tabitha earned a master of social work from Case Western Reserve University - Mandel School and holds a Florida LCSW. She invites people to begin by describing what matters most and then making a clear, manageable plan together.

Online support

Approaches you can use online with a licensed social worker

Client-centered work focuses on the person's goals and strengths. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people notice what matters most and where small changes could make life easier. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches practical steps to test and change unhelpful thinking. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and try strategies together to see what fits best. That means adjusting techniques over time so sessions match changing needs, whether the focus is coping with grief, improving communication, or managing ADHD symptoms.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video lets people read facial cues and work in real time, phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, live chat allows brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit care around work, family, or health demands while keeping therapy consistent and practical.
