About Adina

Adina Tabor is a licensed clinician who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and trauma and abuse. She brings six years of practical experience and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can take the first step toward change.

She listens and then adapts conversation and goals to fit each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps that can be used between meetings. Adina emphasizes building confidence, improving communication, and reducing overwhelming emotions so daily life feels more livable.

Her style blends client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. That means conversations start where the person is, then add small exercises and thought strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. She also draws on emotion-focused and skills-based methods when feelings are intense or when relationships are central to the concern.

Adina holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and has worked in clinical settings in New York and the District of Columbia area. Her background includes supporting people with grief, caregiver stress, codependency, body image, ADHD-related challenges, and issues around attachment and abandonment.

People who reach out can expect a collaborative process. Adina assists in setting clear goals, tracking progress, and adjusting plans as needed. She aims to make therapy practical and relevant so changes carry over into everyday routines.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, creating sessions around what matters most right now. This approach helps people feel heard and sets the direction for practical work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses simple exercises to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and impulsivity, offering tools people can practice between sessions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful for daily life.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time so appointments can be easier to keep. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills in real time or review brief exercises between meetings.
