    About Tiffany

    Tiffany Ung is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 13 years of clinical experience. She has spent over a decade helping people who feel stuck by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, addictions, grief, and the strain of life changes. She also works with people facing relationship and parenting struggles and those managing ADHD concerns. Tiffany speaks English and Cantonese.

    Her style is warm, relaxed, and interactive. Sessions focus on the person telling their story and building on strengths already present. She uses clear, practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to name patterns and try small changes. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support motivation and on psychodynamic ideas to notice repeated relationship themes.

    Tiffany aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations are paced to your needs so you can set goals and try approaches that feel doable. She often blends short-term problem-solving with attention to longer-standing patterns when that feels helpful.

    People who prefer a collaborative, nonjudgmental therapist tend to fit well with her approach. Expect straightforward feedback, gentle challenges, and encouragement to use your strengths. If you want to work on confidence, communication, or coping skills, she offers practical steps and ongoing support.

    To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. The process is aimed at finding realistic goals and steady progress over time.

  2. Approaches that guide online sessions

    Tiffany uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. This approach helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change.

    She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means the conversation is guided by the client's experience and priorities. This approach emphasizes respect, listening, and building on existing strengths. In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try experiments to shift behavior and mood.

    Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Tiffany collaborates with each person to decide what to try first, then adjusts based on progress and preference. She aims to make the plan fit your goals and daily life, not the other way around.

    Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are determined by the therapist's practice. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also enables continued progress during life transitions while keeping the focus on practical steps and motivation.
