About Tamberly
Tamberly Mott is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 16 years of experience. She focuses on life changes and direction, and helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and questions about identity and purpose. Sessions often address career concerns, self-esteem, and coping after losses or big transitions.
She favors short-term, practical work when that fits the person's goals. That can include solution-focused conversations and motivational interviewing to clarify next steps. Tamberly also uses client-centered methods and mindfulness practices to slow down strong emotions and notice what matters now.
Her approach is conversational and paced to the person. She works to understand history, family of origin issues, and attachment patterns that affect current choices. Narrative techniques can help people rewrite how they see themselves after breakup, career change, or health shifts.
Tamberly draws on experience with LGBT concerns, blended family issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and trauma and abuse. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar, depression, and co-morbid issues alongside practical coping strategies like sleep and anger management.
She uses interventions that aim for clearer decisions and manageable steps rather than long lists of tasks. People who feel stuck after a major change can expect focused, conversational sessions that name patterns and test small changes. To begin, users follow the site steps to match and schedule an initial session.
How her methods translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. In online conversation this means the therapist reflects what she hears and helps clients find clearer priorities. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice thoughts and sensations; online sessions can include short guided exercises to calm worry and improve sleep. Motivational Interviewing is a practical way to explore ambivalence and decide on next steps; it works well in focused video conversations or brief check-ins.Choosing an approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made or new obstacles appear.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a weeknight or a lunch break, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss scheduling and session length in the first appointment so sessions match daily life and practical constraints.
