About Tabatha
Tabatha Sapene is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 24 years of professional experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, grief, sleep problems, and career questions. Her work also covers trauma and abuse and a range of related concerns.
Tabatha uses a practical, conversation-based approach. She listens to what is happening day to day, then helps spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses exercises and simple practices people can try between sessions. Sessions are aimed at making small, concrete changes rather than abstract talk.
Her methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy, alongside Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused strategies. These methods are used to identify patterns, try new responses, and build regular routines for sleep, mood, and stress. She also brings in somatic awareness and breathing work when it fits the concern.
Tabatha writes about mental and spiritual practices and has authored a book of affirmations. She discusses how lifestyle factors like nutrition and daily habits can influence brain function and mood. That perspective informs practical suggestions she may offer in sessions.
People who work with her can expect a direct, structured plan and step-by-step tools to practice between meetings. She aims to help clients recognize triggers, test different coping skills, and track what helps over time.
How her approaches adapt to online work
Tabatha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT focuses on practical steps such as changing routines, adjusting thinking patterns, and trying brief experiments to see what improves mood or sleep. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can clarify goals and priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when emotion regulation and close relationships are central concerns; it helps name feelings and practice new ways of responding. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tabatha collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and daily life. She checks in and adjusts the plan based on what helps and what does not. Confirm the exact formats offered before booking, as session options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. If someone prefers a no-video session, that can cut bandwidth needs and make a session simpler to join. In all cases she focuses on practical tools that transfer into daily routines rather than only talking about problems.Areas of expertise
