Dr. Tabitha Thompson, LCSW

Dr. Tabitha Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of practice in California. She focuses on helping people spot their strengths and reach personal and work goals. Her approach treats therapy as a partnership where she and the client make decisions together. Honesty and accountability guide how she works with each person.

She emphasizes clear communication and listening carefully to different viewpoints. Sessions often include building practical plans and realistic expectations that match a person's life. She favors relationship-centered work and pays attention to cultural and ethnic differences when relevant.

Dr. Thompson draws on several therapy styles to match a person's needs. She uses strategies that help people notice thoughts and choose valued actions, and tools that address unhelpful thinking patterns. Emotional connection and understanding are part of how she helps people work through stress, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns.

She also supports people dealing with anger, self-esteem struggles, addiction issues, ADHD, and life changes like divorce or adoption and foster care concerns. Her work includes helping with communication problems, caregiver stress, and commitment or intimacy-related worries.

Her practice aims to create practical next steps, teach skills for coping, and encourage honest reflection. Dr. Thompson invites people to explore goals, try different strategies, and build the habits that lead to lasting change.

How her approaches shape online work

Dr. Thompson uses several practical approaches to guide remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and trying new ways of responding to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on understanding relationship patterns and building safer, more dependable ways of connecting with others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans as progress and challenges arise.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people appreciate being able to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other daily commitments, and the therapist will help tailor session length and focus to what works best for the individual.
