Tamberly Mott , LMFT

Tamberly Mott is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of professional experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through transitions and complex emotional challenges. She is licensed to practice in California (CA LMFT 45783) and Arizona (LMFT-15919) and blends short-term, solution-focused techniques with motivational interviewing and mindfulness-based approaches to tailor care to each person's goals and circumstances.

Tamberly's work emphasizes practical, strengths-based strategies that address relationship difficulties, LGBT-related concerns, family and parenting conflicts, stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and issues with self-esteem, intimacy, and sleep. She also supports people facing career dilemmas, chronic health challenges, caregiver stress, and co-occurring conditions such as bipolar disorder or ADHD. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, eating-related concerns, and family of origin matters.

In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. Tamberly incorporates creative and experiential ideas when helpful, including eco-therapy approaches that draw on nature as an aid to healing when talking alone is not enough. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that meets clients where they are and supports practical steps toward greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Tamberly integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a trusting therapeutic relationship to support growth and self-directed change. She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people develop present-moment awareness and practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, and emotional reactivity. Motivational interviewing is another core approach she applies to help clients clarify their goals and strengthen internal motivation for change, especially when facing ambivalence about important life decisions or behavior shifts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tamberly works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication styles. These modalities make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other settings, accommodate different energy levels or mobility needs, and allow ongoing support between appointments when useful.
