Tiffany Ung

Tiffany Ung is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, ADHD, grief, and life changes. Tiffany aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for anyone beginning therapy.

She brings a warm, laid-back, and interactive style to sessions. Tiffany treats people with respect and sensitivity, and she believes clients are the experts in their own stories. She looks for existing strengths to build on and uses practical conversation to help clients move forward.

Tiffany blends several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and Solution-Focused work to set clear, short-term goals.

Her practice also considers deeper life patterns through psychodynamic ideas, helping clients notice repeated relationship or emotional patterns. Tiffany pays attention to concerns often raised by women, including self-love, role strain, and social anxiety, while staying focused on the individual's goals.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Tiffany helps people break problems into smaller steps and practices new skills between meetings. She offers services in English and Cantonese and works with people across a range of backgrounds in California.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you so you feel heard and understood; it is useful when someone wants a supportive space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people practice small changes to worry, mood, or behavior. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to uncover personal reasons for change and to build motivation one step at a time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as you go.

Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing commute time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, or allowing workday appointments that would otherwise be hard to attend. Licensed professionals can use these methods to help people practice skills between sessions and keep momentum toward their goals.
