About Tiffany
Tiffany Ung is a licensed clinical social worker in California with 13 years of experience. She has supported people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, parenting challenges, addiction, grief, and life transitions. Tiffany speaks English and Cantonese and aims to make the first step feel manageable for worried parents and individuals.
Her style is warm, laid-back, and interactive. She listens without judgment and treats each person with sensitivity and respect. Tiffany believes people know parts of their story already and that those strengths help guide change.
Background and approach
In sessions she blends practical tools with conversation about deeper patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions.
Tiffany brings motivational interviewing into sessions when people need help finding reasons and readiness to change. She balances goal-focused work with validating emotions and building self-compassion. Parents often find this mix useful for handling stress and communication challenges.
Her approach is collaborative. She talks through options with each person and adjusts methods to what feels most useful. If someone wants focused skill-building or a quieter space to make sense of things, Tiffany adapts to those needs.
How Tiffany blends approaches for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people where they are. It emphasizes listening, acceptance, and helping someone find their own path forward. This approach is useful when a parent or individual needs a calm space to be heard and reflect on what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and habits. It offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, stress, and parenting responses by changing patterns that cause trouble. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want and build motivation to make changes, which can be helpful when addressing addictions, motivation, or readiness for new routines.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Tiffany collaborates with each person to try approaches that fit their goals and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time based on what proves helpful and what the client prefers.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around busy schedules and to check in between longer sessions. For many people the variety of formats helps them stay consistent while working on stress, parenting, and life changes.
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.
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.
