Tabatha Sapene , LISW

Tabatha Sapene is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with 24 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She combines clinical training with additional education in mindfulness techniques, natural health and healing, and neuroscience to address how lifestyle and behavior influence the brain and overall well-being.

Her work includes trauma and abuse recovery, grief support, coping with compassion fatigue, and sleep concerns, as well as career-related challenges and social anxiety. She also supports clients experiencing dissociation, control issues, guilt and shame, and struggles with life purpose and isolation. Tabatha adapts conversations and treatment plans to meet each personâs specific needs and circumstances.

Tabatha brings practices such as EFT tapping and other mindfulness-based tools into therapy to help clients build healthier boundaries, especially those who identify as highly sensitive or empathic. She describes this work as assisting people to understand their energy, create protective boundaries, and reclaim a sense of personal agency.

She is the author of the book Mental Alchemy Spiritual Affirmations to Change Your Life, where she offers techniques intended to support mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Tabatha treats everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and invites those who are ready to take the first step toward therapy to consider working together.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Growth

Tabatha Sapene integrates evidence-informed approaches to help clients address emotional and practical challenges in an online format. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting therapeutic relationship where the clientâs goals lead the work - this approach supports people who need space to explore feelings, build self-esteem, and gain clarity about life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the connections among thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, mood symptoms, and unhelpful patterns through focused exercises and skill building. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance practices that can reduce stress, improve sleep, and support regulation of strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Tabatha works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress is made. Clients and therapist make these decisions together to tailor a plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care during transitions, and access licensed professionals from their own communities while maintaining the therapeutic focus and support they seek.
