About Adina

Adina Tabor is a licensed social worker who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience, she brings a compassionate, client-centered stance that emphasizes respect and sensitivity while tailoring conversations and plans to each person’s distinct needs. Her practice also addresses intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, parenting and caregiver stress, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and a range of related challenges such as attachment and communication problems, impulsivity, and codependency.

Adina draws on evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness-based approaches to help clients build practical skills and deepen emotional awareness. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, offering coaching where useful and adapting interventions to align with a client’s goals and preferences.

Adina is licensed as an LICSW in the District of Columbia and an LCSW in New York, and she practices in English. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, and her approach centers on steady support and partnership as clients work toward greater balance and wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Adina integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop coping skills, and practice present-moment awareness. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and certain attention-related challenges. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes grounding, emotion regulation, and increased awareness of internal experience to reduce reactivity and improve focus and wellbeing.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies when clients benefit from concrete skills in distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can support people managing intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship difficulties by teaching step-by-step skills that are practiced in real life.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the collaborative process; the therapist will work together with each client to determine which approaches match their goals, preferences, and needs. This collaborative stance helps shape treatment plans that balance skill-building, emotional exploration, and practical coaching.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when in-person work is not feasible.
