About Tiffany

Tiffany Ung is a California-based licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of clinical experience. She brings a calm, warm presence to sessions and focuses on helping people build confidence and manage stress and anxiety.

She works with adults who are facing relationship tension, parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, and life transitions. Tiffany emphasizes self-esteem and self-love as part of recovery and growth. She treats each person with respect and sensitivity while listening for the strengths they already have.

Tiffany’s style is laid-back and interactive. She treats clients as the experts of their own stories and helps them connect with what already works in their lives. Sessions often balance practical skills and personal reflection so people leave with concrete steps to try between meetings.

Her work integrates several approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside psychodynamic and client-centered ideas. This mix lets her address automatic thoughts, motivation, and the early patterns that shape current behavior.

People who prefer a supportive, nonjudgmental space find her approach useful. She aims to guide people toward clearer goals, better communication, and stronger self-regard while adapting methods to what each person needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a supportive relationship and helping people explore their own goals. It involves active listening, reflection, and encouraging clients to lead the topics they want to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It often uses practical exercises and between-session practice to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Tiffany will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods based on a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape short-term goals and longer-term changes.

Confirm the available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life and can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed, and sessions that don’t require being on camera can help when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is preferred. These practical benefits help people maintain momentum between sessions and apply new skills in daily life.
