About Tami

Tami Labul is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns among a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She brings 20 years of experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Tami is based in Maine and holds licenses in Maine and Idaho.

Her approach is nonjudgmental and grounded in respect for each person’s background and beliefs.

Background and approach

Tami listens first and adapts her support to what each person needs. She uses strengths-based work to help people notice what already helps them and build new skills. Sessions often include practical coping strategies and ways to handle day-to-day stressors.

Her training includes trauma work, and she has experience supporting people after physical or emotional trauma and abuse. Tami also helps with issues like self-esteem, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, grief, and communication difficulties. She is comfortable working with a range of faiths and cultures and is LGBTQ affirming.

In sessions she mixes methods rather than relying on one model. That can mean learning new ways to think about a problem, practicing small behavior changes, or using mindful awareness to reduce reactivity. She aims to put useful tools into each person’s toolbox so they can use them between appointments.

Tami offers phone and video sessions and responds to messages regularly during the week. Her schedule typically excludes weekends and major holidays. If someone is ready to start, she supports taking the next steps toward change and recovery.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting support

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person and their goals. The therapist listens closely, offers empathy, and supports people in finding their own solutions. This helps when someone needs acceptance and a nonjudgmental place to sort out parenting stress or family conflict.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and practical parenting challenges where changing patterns can reduce stress and improve daily routines.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Those techniques often help with stress, emotion regulation, and staying present during difficult family moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods fit their needs and goals.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats let people schedule around childcare, work, or travel and keep continuity when life gets busy. For many, remote sessions make it easier to practice new skills between meetings and get regular support without added commute 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.

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.

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.
