About Tami
Tami Labul offers calm, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience and works in Maine. Her approach is straightforward and centered on each person's needs.
She listens without judgment and focuses on strengths people already have. Sessions aim to identify helpful coping skills and then practice them until they feel more natural.
Background and approach
Tami uses clear, concrete steps so progress is visible and understandable. Her work covers common struggles such as depression, low self-esteem, parenting stress, relationship and communication problems, and recovery after trauma or abuse. She also supports people facing caregiver strain, blended family challenges, and the aftermath of separation or loss.
Tami has experience with clients who identify as LGBTQ and with varied cultural and faith backgrounds. Therapy blends several approaches to fit what an individual prefers and needs. That might include talking through personal stories, examining thinking patterns that cause distress, or using mindfulness to manage strong emotions.
The goal is practical change - more coping tools and better day-to-day functioning. Tami makes herself available by phone or video and checks and responds to messages during the week. If someone is ready to begin, she helps them take the first steps and stays collaborative through the process.
Choosing an approach that fits online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set priorities. This approach is useful for building confidence and sorting through feelings that feel stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce emotional reactivity and relieve ongoing worry.
Finding the right method is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust as progress and preferences become clearer. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging are good for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. Using these formats, the therapist can fit sessions into a busy life and keep work focused on practical coping skills and steady progress.
