Tiffany Ung is a licensed clinical social worker in California with 13 years of clinical experience.

She speaks English and Cantonese. Tiffany keeps a warm, laid-back, and interactive style in sessions. She treats people with respect and compassion and believes clients know their own stories best.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings as well as talking through feelings in the room. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, and Motivational Interviewing to help people understand patterns and find motivation to change. She also uses client-centered and solution-focused practices to build on a person's strengths and set manageable goals.

Tiffany pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that affect relationships and parenting. She helps people sort through guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about purpose and self-love. Conversations aim to make difficult problems easier to handle and clearer to address.

If someone is thinking about therapy, Tiffany emphasizes small steps and steady progress. She supports people as they try out new ways of coping and communicating. Her goal is to help clients feel more able to move forward in everyday life.

Online support

Approaches that guide online work and practical care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and valuing your experience. The therapist follows your lead, helps you name priorities, and builds on the strengths you already have. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and gives clear strategies to change them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood by teaching tools you can practice between sessions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and try different methods to see what fits. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what helps you make progress and feel more capable in daily life.

Online therapy makes sessions easier to fit into busy schedules. Video calls give face-to-face interaction when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler option for check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let you share thoughts between meetings or check in when time is short. These formats allow flexible ways to work through parenting stress, relationship challenges, and coping with change while balancing other responsibilities.
