About Tamberly

Tamberly Mott is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who supports people facing family and parenting challenges, relationship strain, LGBT concerns, stress, anxiety, trauma, and grief. She offers straightforward help for issues like sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Tamberly speaks English and practices in California as a California LMFT.

She keeps sessions practical and focused. Tamberly uses short-term, goal-oriented tools when helpful and also draws on mindfulness and narrative work to help people make sense of difficult patterns.

Background and approach

Conversations are down-to-earth and aimed at small, doable changes that fit daily life. Her style centers on listening closely and helping people find what matters to them. Motivational interviewing is used to clarify what someone wants and to build momentum toward those goals.

Solution-focused techniques break problems into manageable steps and identify what already works. Tamberly has 16 years of experience as an LMFT. She blends different methods depending on each person’s needs rather than sticking to a single approach.

She also brings ideas from nature-based work when talking feels limited. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Tamberly helps clients set realistic goals and track progress.

The emphasis is on usable tools for family life and parenting, and on supporting everyday coping during life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online family and parenting work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience so they feel heard and supported; it helps when families need space to talk without judgment and to clarify what matters most. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and reactivity, which can make parenting and relationship moments easier to handle. Motivational Interviewing is a short, collaborative style that helps people identify what they want to change and build small steps toward those goals, useful for transitions and behavior shifts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That process may include trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy family schedules. These formats allow flexibility for parents and caregivers to attend from home or between activities. The variety of options also makes it easier to use brief check-ins, practice exercises, and follow-up messages that support steady progress over time.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
