About Tamberly

Tamberly Mott is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as relationship difficulties, family matters, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also supports people facing life changes, career questions, sleep and anger problems, and attention-related concerns.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing and realistic steps forward. She often uses solution-focused methods to set small goals and client-centered listening to understand how family roles and expectations influence current behavior.

Tamberly draws on mindfulness practices to help with stress, emotional regulation, and sleep. She uses motivational interviewing when people feel stuck about change. Narrative techniques are used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and their families and to consider other ways of understanding those stories.

She has worked across a range of life stages and stresses, including caregiving strain, blended family dynamics, and challenges tied to aging. Family of origin issues are a named focus and she helps people notice patterns that started in childhood and still affect adult choices.

Practical details are part of her work. Clients can expect clear conversations about goals, small experiments between sessions, and an emphasis on developing skills that fit daily life. Language used in sessions is plain and direct so people can try new ways of relating without jargon.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens deeply and follows what matters most to the client; online sessions use that same focus to help people clarify goals and priorities. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep, and those exercises can be guided during a remote session. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change by exploring ambivalence and drawing out personal reasons for change. Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss the options, try methods that fit the client’s needs, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process aims to match strategy to practical goals like improving communication or reducing anxiety. The site description does not list specific session formats for this therapist, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit a meeting into a workday, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Discuss scheduling and session length during the first appointment so sessions can be arranged to match everyday life and responsibilities.
