About Tami
Tami Labul is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine and Idaho with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting struggles, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to trauma and compassion fatigue. She also helps with self-esteem, coping with life changes, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.
Tami uses straightforward, strengths-based work that centers the person's own goals. She draws on several approaches - including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, narrative exploration, and psychodynamic ideas - to help people talk through what matters to them. Sessions focus on building practical coping skills and clearer ways of seeing difficult patterns, not on pushing a single method.
She has experience supporting people from varied faiths and cultures and identifies as LGBTQ affirming. Her background includes work in local mental health practice settings and with people recovering from physical or emotional trauma and abuse. That experience informs how she approaches issues like attachment, abandonment, and family of origin struggles.
Tami offers phone and video sessions by appointment and usually reads and replies to messages twice a day on weekdays. Scheduling follows her stated work pattern, with weekends and major holidays generally off. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and any details about how sessions are arranged.
Her style is practical and respectful. Work in sessions tends to include identifying strengths, learning new coping tools, and looking at how past experiences influence present choices. For someone carrying guilt or shame, she helps untangle those feelings and find manageable next steps.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
She draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy as core tools. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person's lead, which helps clarify what matters most and what to tackle first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and offers concrete strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.Mindfulness practice is also often used to help people notice emotions like guilt or shame without getting swept away by them. Simple attention and breathing exercises can make it easier to use other tools learned in sessions. The therapist will discuss these approaches and how they might fit the person's goals so decisions are made together.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats are arranged by appointment. The practical benefits of meeting with a licensed professional online include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time, and making it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others choose phone for a quieter, lower-bandwidth call. The therapist will help match the format and approach to what works in the person's life.
