About Poonam
Poonam Thadani is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with four years of practice experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and Hindi and reflect her focus on family of origin issues when relevant to current struggles.
Poonam uses a mix of approaches in session and adapts them to what the person brings. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns that started in childhood and show up in adult relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Emotionally-focused methods are available when exploring feelings in closer relationships feels important.
In practical terms she encourages people to talk through what they notice, test small changes, and reflect on how past family roles affect today. Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable goals rather than long lists of techniques. Poonam offers a steady, conversational style and aims for clarity about next steps after each meeting.
Her background combines short-term and longer-term approaches so sessions can address immediate coping needs as well as deeper pattern work. She accepts clients in California only and asks people to confirm current session options before booking. The LMFT credential indicates a licensed marriage and family therapist in California.
How her approaches translate to online work
Poonam commonly uses attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early family roles shape current relationship patterns and helps people notice recurring dynamics. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to choose which methods to try first, based on current goals, comfort with different exercises, and what feels most useful in early sessions. That collaboration helps clarify whether to emphasize feeling-focused work, thought-focused exercises, or a mix of both.
The therapist's profile does not list which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. Many people find remote work helps them keep continuity while juggling caregiving, work, or health needs, and she will discuss practical arrangements when scheduling.
