Practical, warm therapy for life changes

About Tamberly

Tamberly Mott is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people navigate relationship struggles, LGBT concerns, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. She has 16 years of clinical experience and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away.

Background and approach

Tamberly aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and direct. Her style is warm and client-centered.

She listens first, then helps people name what matters most. Sessions often emphasize realistic goals, skills to reduce stress, and ways to improve intimacy and self-worth.

Tamberly uses mindfulness to help people slow down and notice what’s happening in their body and mind. She draws on solution-focused and motivational techniques to create short-term plans and keep momentum toward change.

Narrative ideas are used to reframe painful stories and open new possibilities. She brings experience with grief, anger, bipolar and co-occurring concerns, ADHD, and chronic illness.

Tamberly also supports people facing family-of-origin issues, caregiver stress, body image struggles, and life transitions like aging or career change. Sessions may include practical exercises, short coaching-style check-ins, and reminders to try new behaviors between meetings.

The work is collaborative: she partners with each person to tailor strategies that fit their life and goals. Tamberly practices in California as an LMFT and offers multiple online session formats to make scheduling easier for busy lives.

Therapeutic approaches that work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs. It helps people feel heard and then build small, realistic steps toward change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, stress, and mood by noticing thoughts and body signals. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and turn those reasons into clear, achievable goals that feel doable in everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tamberly will ask about goals, past attempts, and daily life to decide which methods to try first. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts plans based on what is helpful for the person.

Online sessions can make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction without travel. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short updates, coaching-style prompts, or when someone prefers written check-ins during a busy day. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to fit therapy into a routine.
