About Tabatha
Tabatha Sapene is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 24 years of professional experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Tabatha also supports those facing grief, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and career questions.
Her approach balances practical techniques and conversational therapy. She uses client-centered conversation alongside cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Emotionally-focused methods and mindfulness tools are part of the mix when emotional connection or present-moment awareness is needed.
Tabatha draws on additional learning in mindfulness practices, natural health and healing, and neuroscience to discuss how lifestyle choices can affect mood and energy. She offers concrete activities such as breathing work, grounding, and thought records rather than abstract theories. This can help with managing symptoms and building clearer day-to-day routines.
She also addresses concerns like communication problems, control issues, dissociation, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. Hospice and end-of-life counseling, multicultural concerns, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and questions about life purpose are listed among her focus areas.
In sessions she may combine solution-focused techniques with mindfulness and emotionally-focused tools to set short-term goals and track progress. People who prefer straightforward, practice-oriented conversation about next steps may find this style fits well.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions start with open questions and reflections to clarify concerns and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior and try small experiments to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and career decision-making. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and internal experience and can help with processing grief, shame, or strong interpersonal feelings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. That might mean pivoting from skill-based CBT tools to more emotionally-focused conversation when a feeling needs more attention.
Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as the biography does not state which specific online or remote options are used. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to use practical at-home exercises between meetings and to bring up real-life situations that happened earlier that day.
