About Tabitha
Tabitha Peppmuller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eleven years of practice. She focuses on anxiety, stress, attention challenges, and related concerns. Tabitha aims to make sessions practical and approachable for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

Background and approach
Tabitha has spent much of her career addressing parenting stress, postpartum challenges, and women’s health topics. She also supports people facing addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Her work touches on relationship patterns such as codependency and non-monogamous relationship concerns as needed.
Her style is warm and motivating while keeping goals clear. She values the outdoors and sometimes brings nature-based ideas into sessions when they fit the person’s life. The overall aim is to help people feel more comfortable in their own skin and make changes they want.
Tabitha works with practical tools like cognitive strategies, mindfulness practices, and brief solution-focused techniques. She offers several session formats to fit different schedules and preferences. People who want direct support, gentle challenge, and concrete steps may find her approach useful.
How her approaches adapt to online therapy
Tabitha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple breathing and attention practices that calm the nervous system and help with stress and overwhelm. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, concrete goals and track progress so clients see practical change between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods collaboratively and adjust as needed. Clients take an active role in deciding which tools to keep and which to change over time.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to schedule. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, written exercises, and flexible communication between longer sessions. These options help people work on thoughts, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps from wherever they can focus best.
