About Adina
Adina Tabor, LICSW and LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of practice across Washington, D.C. and New York. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and problems with motivation and self-esteem. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at changing unhelpful thoughts and habits that get in the way of daily life.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered methods and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems stuck, testing small changes, and building skills for handling strong feelings and difficult conversations. Work is structured and goal-oriented, with clear short-term steps and homework when helpful.
Adina also addresses trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related concerns. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes, codependency and communication problems, and issues around body image and eating. Practical coping strategies are mixed with attention to emotions and relationship patterns.
Her style is direct and attentive to what each person needs from session to session. She blends short-term problem-solving with longer-term work on patterns that repeat across relationships and roles. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the license details DC LICSW and NY LCSW.
How Adina uses CBT, DBT, and client-centered work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of thinking and acting. It helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and problems that recur in daily life by giving concrete experiments and steps to try.Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when strong reactions, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts keep coming up. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and helping people describe their goals so therapy fits what matters to them.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then recommend a path forward together. That collaborative decision can change as needs shift.
