About Tabatha
Tabatha Sapene is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with 24 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, sleep troubles, grief, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Her approach is practical and personal, aimed at helping clients feel steadier day to day.
Tabatha uses somatic work to help people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body. She also draws on client-centered listening to make space for what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to build clearer thinking and better coping skills. Her background includes coursework and study in neuroscience, natural health and healing, and mindfulness techniques. She is the author of a book of spiritual affirmations that supports people who want to reframe habits of thought and build new daily practices.
Tabatha blends practical tools with attention to emotional and physical experience. Sessions focus on building skills you can use between meetings. That might look like grounding exercises, brief cognitive tools, or simple routines to improve sleep and mood.
She works with multicultural concerns, grief, forgiveness, dissociation, communication problems, life purpose, and career-related stress. Tabatha aims to tailor each plan to the individual. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients identify realistic goals and steps forward.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session.
Approaches that translate to online care
Somatic work helps people notice and name where emotions live in the body. Online sessions can include guided body awareness, breathing, and movement exercises to reduce tension and regulate arousal. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection. In virtual meetings the therapist creates space for your concerns and follows your pace so you feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches simple, practical tools to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which are easy to practice between sessions and review during video or text exchanges.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions. Together you decide whether somatic techniques, CBT tools, mindfulness, or a mix best supports your needs and day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work or family routines and to practice skills in real time. Many people find that the range of formats helps them stay consistent with care while working on sleep, anxiety, grief, or stress management.
