About Tamberly

Tamberly Mott is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 16 years of clinical experience. She supports adults facing life transitions, relationship and family concerns, LGBT issues, anxiety, depression, and challenges like grief, trauma, parenting strain, and career uncertainty.

She favors clear, solution-focused work that helps people make practical changes. Sessions often concentrate on immediate steps and skills to handle stress, manage anger, and improve sleep. Tamberly also uses approaches that invite reflection on life stories and relationships to shift unhelpful patterns.

Her style blends Client-Centered listening with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques. Mindfulness practices are introduced when helpful to reduce rumination and increase emotional regulation. Narrative Therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and consider alternatives.

Tamberly has worked across a range of settings during her career, which contributes to a flexible way of working. She often helps people who feel stuck after big changes, those coping with caregiving or chronic health issues, and people navigating intimacy or family-of-origin problems.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. She encourages clients to set clear goals and to try small experiments between meetings. People who want coaching-style support for goals like career planning or building routines will also find this approach familiar.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions that use this approach spend time clarifying concerns and naming goals in plain terms. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and build commitment to change, which can help with behavior shifts like sleep routines, career moves, or reducing substance use.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamberly will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then suggest ways of working together. That decision is a shared one and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. It also allows continuity when life events make in-person meetings harder. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, solution-focused tasks, and narrative work to an online setting so clients can practice between sessions.
