About Tabitha

Dr. Tabitha Thompson is an LCSW with 12 years of clinical experience based in California who emphasizes partnership and practical growth.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative process, helping clients identify strengths, clarify goals, and build realistic plans to reach them. Honesty and accountability guide her work, and she models those values while encouraging clients to act in alignment with their intentions.

Her practice centers on strong relationship skills and clear communication, with attention to different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Dr.

Thompson draws on multiple evidence-informed approaches to support concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction, and intimacy-related challenges. She also addresses a wide range of focused issues including attachment and abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems.

Clients can expect attentive listening, collaborative treatment planning, and advocacy for decisions that promote wellbeing and safety. Dr.

Thompson aims to foster emotional intelligence and practical skills so clients can move toward lasting change and better alignment between what they think, say, and do.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed actions that align with those values, while teaching strategies to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than avoiding them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes understanding emotional responses and strengthening attachment-related bonds to improve relationship and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist uses a collaborative process to determine which methods best match a client's needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so treatment stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are conducted through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These remote options make it possible to maintain consistent care, access support from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person.
