Tabatha Sapene, LISW

Tabatha Sapene is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 24 years of professional experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, and career concerns.

Tabatha uses practical talking, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods to help people sort out what feels overwhelming. She draws on client-centered principles, so sessions pay attention to each person's priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolbox for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

She also integrates emotionally-focused approaches to look at feelings in relationships and to strengthen how people understand their emotional responses. Mindfulness techniques and brief solution work are used to build small, workable habits. These methods can be applied to concerns like social anxiety, isolation, or recurring shame and guilt.

Tabatha notes additional study in nutrition, neuroscience, and natural health as influences on how she frames mental and physical well-being. She is the author of Mental Alchemy Spiritual Affirmations to Change Your Life and incorporates practical exercises and affirmations when appropriate.

Sessions emphasize clear goals and manageable steps. Tabatha encourages clients to identify strengths and realistic next actions. People seeking to address guilt or shame will find approaches that look at thoughts, feelings, bodily responses, and everyday choices.
