About Tabatha

Tabatha Sapene is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) in Ohio with 24 years of professional experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, sleepless, or struggling with low self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, career challenges, and big life changes.

Her approach is down-to-earth and person-focused. Conversations are guided by what the client brings in. She uses practical tools like mindfulness and cognitive strategies to manage upsetting thoughts and improve sleep and daily routine.

Tabatha blends a few methods to meet individual needs. That can include client-centered listening, solution-focused planning, and elements of emotionally-focused work to name feelings and improve relationships. She also uses mindfulness practices to calm the body and mind during stressful moments.

She draws on a broad background that includes training in neuroscience, natural health and healing, and mindfulness techniques. Tabatha is the author of Mental Alchemy Spiritual Affirmations to Change Your Life, and she incorporates breathwork, grounding, and simple habit shifts when helpful.

Sessions are planned with respect and sensitivity. Tabatha aims to help people set clearer boundaries, understand their emotional energy, and build everyday habits that support rest, resilience, and self-compassion. If someone is unsure where to start, she works together with them to create small, doable steps.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions let the therapist follow the client's lead, clarify concerns, and build a plan based on what the client says. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and behaviors with practical exercises and short homework tasks that fit into everyday life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps name and work with feelings that affect relationships and personal wellbeing, often using guided conversations to shift how someone connects to their emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tabatha will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in on what is working and adjusts the plan if something feels off or unhelpful.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when people need them. It also makes consistent follow-up and homework review easier, so progress can continue between sessions without disrupting a daily routine.
