Tami Labul , LCSW

Tami Labul is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem. She works with adults who are facing life changes, parenting strain, relationship problems, and the effects of trauma and compassion fatigue. Tami uses a straightforward and empathetic style to make it easier to talk about hard things.

Tami brings 20 years of practice in community mental health and outpatient settings. She draws on a mix of practical tools and talking therapies to meet each person where they are. Sessions often emphasize building new coping skills and strengthening what already works for the client.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that repeat across their lives. The result is a flexible plan tailored to specific goals like reducing anxiety or improving self-esteem.

Tami respects different faiths and cultural backgrounds and offers LGBTQ-affirming care. She is licensed in Maine and Idaho as an LCSW and brings experience helping people recover from physical or emotional trauma and abuse.

Practical details are handled plainly: sessions can be by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. Messaging is checked regularly on weekdays, with weekends and major holidays as typical days off. If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through the next steps toward change.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. In sessions the therapist reflects feelings, validates experience, and helps clients set goals that feel right to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches tangible skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment with short practices and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. From there she blends methods and adjusts the plan over time, so the work matches the client rather than forcing one method on everyone.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging provide quick check-ins or brief skill coaching between calls. These options offer flexibility and multiple ways to keep progress moving forward without changing the quality of the therapeutic work.
