About Adina

Adina Tabor is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and relationship or intimacy challenges. She uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. She treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring the plan to individual needs.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. That can mean learning ways to calm anxious thoughts, changing habits that worsen mood, or improving how people talk about tough topics.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing grief, trauma, sleep struggles, caregiving stress, and questions about identity and sexuality. Her approach draws on well-known therapies such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness tools. She blends these methods to match a client’s goals and pace rather than following a single formula.

The result is a plan people can use between sessions. Adina is licensed in New York and the District of Columbia as LICSW and LCSW. She offers talk-based care and uses clear, everyday language so parents and busy adults can follow along.

She encourages small, steady changes that add up over time. People who want a collaborative, respectful guide for managing life transitions or improving relationships may find her style helpful. Adina emphasizes practical skills, emotional understanding, and gradual progress toward better routines and connections.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person’s goals and experience, letting the therapist listen deeply and follow what matters most. It helps people feel heard and shapes the work around their priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and building practical coping strategies.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills that can ease intense feelings and conflict. It is often used when strong emotions or impulsive behaviors make daily life harder.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on what works for the person’s goals and comfort level. That means methods can shift as needs change over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or other responsibilities. They also let the therapist use worksheets, short exercises, and reminders that support progress between conversations.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
