About Tamberly

Tamberly Mott is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing relationship and life-change struggles. She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT identity. She also works with parenting stress, caregiver strain, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and career questions.

With 16 years as an LMFT, Tamberly uses short-term, practical approaches to help clients make concrete changes. She favors solution-focused work that breaks big problems into manageable steps. She also draws on client-centered listening, motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and mindfulness practices to tailor sessions to each person.

Her style is direct and compassionate. Sessions focus on clear goals and small experiments clients can try between meetings. She encourages people to notice patterns in their relationships and their stories, and to build skills that reduce distress and improve daily life.

Tamberly describes nature-based ideas as another resource when talking feels hard; these can be used alongside talk therapy. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space so people can share what matters most to them.

People who choose her often want practical tools and steady support while they face transitions, relationship strain, or mood and attention challenges. The work is collaborative: she helps clients identify priorities and find steps that fit their lives.

Step 3

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting the client's experience. Online sessions can focus on building trust, clarifying goals, and making space to talk about relationship or identity concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep; in remote sessions clients learn short exercises to practice between meetings. Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their own reasons for change and build confidence; this approach works well when someone is unsure about a next step and needs help setting realistic goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, preferences, and goals and then recommend a blend of methods. Together they review what’s working and adjust the plan as the work progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills in their daily routines and quickly review progress between meetings.
