About Adina

Adina Tabor is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, career questions, and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. Adina practices with respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation.

Adina holds a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker credential in the District of Columbia and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential in New York. She has six years of professional experience working with clients on practical goals. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, so conversations and plans look different from client to client.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people set small, doable steps toward change. That can mean learning new coping skills for anxiety, trying behavior-based strategies for sleep or mood, or working on communication patterns that affect close relationships.

Adina uses tools from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused methods, and mindfulness practices. These are mixed to fit a client's situation rather than applied all at once.

People meet Adina to talk through life changes, career decisions, intimacy and attachment questions, or burnout and compassion fatigue. She emphasizes clear next steps, realistic goals, and steady support as people make changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy is built around listening and following what matters most to the client. In practice this means the therapist asks about priorities and adjusts the pace and focus to fit the person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and motivation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication, which can be useful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship stress.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Adina will work with the person to figure out which methods make the most sense for their needs and preferences. She mixes approaches as needed and checks in regularly to adjust the plan so it stays useful and realistic.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, remove travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue work while relocating between states where international sessions are not available. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, session length, and how to structure sessions to match daily life and goals.
