About Tamberly
Tamberly Mott is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress. Her work also addresses LGBT concerns, parenting and family issues, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related struggles.
Tamberly uses straightforward, short-term approaches when helpful. She often draws on solution-focused work and motivational interviewing to set clear goals and find practical steps forward. Mindfulness techniques and narrative work are part of how she helps people notice patterns and change painful stories about themselves.
Sessions tend to center on what is happening now and what a client wants to change. She listens for how past family dynamics or attachment wounds show up today. From there she and the client try small experiments or new ways of talking to one another that can shift stuck feelings like guilt, shame, or anger.
Tamberly also brings ideas from client-centered therapy, which means she follows the client’s lead and prioritizes their concerns. She has experience with caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, codependency, and issues that come from blended families or family of origin patterns.
Her style is practical and relational. Clients looking to clarify next steps, manage strong emotions, or work through tough family history often begin by naming one or two immediate goals. Conversations may include brief mindfulness practice, focused questions, and collaborative planning for change.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s concerns. In practice this means sessions start with what matters most to the person and the therapist reflects and clarifies to help move conversation forward. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and small goals. It is useful for people who want to address specific problems like sleep disruption, short-term relationship conflicts, or managing strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tamberly will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean trying a short block of solution-focused work, mixing in mindfulness practice, or using narrative questions to change how a difficult story is held.
Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or reduce the need to travel. Therapists can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so clients can use tools between meetings without expecting a particular outcome.
