About Tabatha
Tabatha Bassey is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She works with people who have faced trauma, are handling parenting challenges, are living with depression, or are coping with major life changes. She also supports people experiencing compassion fatigue and related stresses.
Tabatha listens in a straightforward way and helps people talk through what feels hard right now. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking about everyday problems. She aims to help people notice strengths they already have and use those to manage current difficulties.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with individuals affected by abuse, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, and attachment concerns. She has worked with people coping after natural or human-caused disasters and those dealing with caregiver stress, substance concerns, and domestic violence.
Tabatha has helped people facing intellectual disability, autism and Asperger Syndrome, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose. She also addresses post-traumatic stress and self-harm in ways that prioritize immediate safety and practical coping.
Sessions are conversational with focus on realistic skills and short-term goals when needed. People who are early in adulthood often seek her help for starting a first job, managing relationships, and feeling behind or overwhelmed by change. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work online
Tabatha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and symptom relief. One common technique helps people process traumatic memories and the impact of abuse in manageable steps, with attention to immediate coping skills and current safety. Another approach emphasizes building everyday routines and problem-solving skills to reduce depression and overwhelm, which can help with work, study, and day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your concerns, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process means goals and techniques are checked and updated as needed so sessions stay relevant to your life.
The biography does not specify which online formats she uses, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people find talking by phone easier for low-bandwidth or no-camera moments, while video can help with face-to-face interaction when that feels important. Licensed professionals can adapt tools to suit goals and your day-to-day rhythm.
