About Tabatha
Tabatha Sapene is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker, LISW, with 24 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, and life transitions. Tabatha also supports clients facing career concerns and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Her approach blends emotionally-focused ideas with client-centered conversations and practical tools. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way. Solution-focused work is used to identify small, concrete steps that move a person forward.
Tabatha writes about mental wellness and has authored a book of spiritual affirmations. She also studies how lifestyle choices affect the brain and body, and she incorporates that understanding into sessions when relevant. She mentions EFT tapping and somatic-awareness practices as options she may bring into the work.
Sessions focus on understanding emotions, improving communication, and building boundaries. Clients who feel overwhelmed by guilt, shame, dissociation, or isolation may find practical strategies here. Tabatha describes helping people notice patterns and practice new responses, one step at a time.
She works in English and practices in Ohio. To begin she asks prospective clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to see how her methods fit each person’s goals.
How EFT, client-centered work, and CBT show up online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying the feelings that drive recurring patterns. It helps people name emotions and look at how those feelings shape reactions and relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses reflective listening to clarify what matters most. It supports people in making choices that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, often useful for anxiety, mood, and sleep concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tabatha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together as goals become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let someone choose whether to use video, audio-only, or a different arrangement depending on comfort and bandwidth. The practical aim is to make sessions workable alongside everyday life while focusing on emotions, communication, and step-by-step change.
