Tiffany Ung

Tiffany Ung is a California licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience in psychotherapy. She has supported people through anxiety, stress, relationship and parenting concerns, grief, addiction, ADHD, and challenges to self-esteem. Tiffany speaks English and Cantonese and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions.

Her style is warm, laid-back, and interactive. She treats clients with sensitivity and compassion and emphasizes the person as the expert in their own life. Conversations focus on strengths the person already has and practical steps they can try between sessions.

Tiffany combines several approaches to meet different needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is finding it hard to make changes or stay motivated.

People often come to her for issues like social anxiety, isolation and loneliness, communication problems, guilt and shame, or questions about life purpose and self-love. Tiffany also works with parenting stress and family-related challenges while keeping the focus on the individual’s goals.

If someone is unsure where to start, Tiffany helps set clear, manageable goals and suggests simple experiments to try between sessions. She emphasizes collaboration and tailors the approach to each person’s situation and pace.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a compassionate space to make sense of feelings and decide what's important to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches simple skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to make changes and stay motivated.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tiffany treats clients as partners in that process and adjusts methods to fit goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She will help figure out which approach or mix of approaches to try first and will check in regularly to see what is working.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone choose whether to be on camera. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency as they work on things like loneliness, social anxiety, motivation, and life changes.
