About Adina
Adina Tabor is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of professional experience. She practices in the District of Columbia and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship and family concerns. She also helps with issues like sleep problems, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes.
Adina favors a conversational, person-focused approach in sessions. She listens to how daily pressures show up and then uses practical tools to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Expect concrete skills you can try between sessions, such as behavior-focused exercises and mindfulness practices.
Her methods draw from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help manage impulses and disruptive thoughts. She also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused techniques to improve communication and deepen emotional understanding. Mindfulness exercises are introduced to help reduce physiological arousal and improve presence.
Adina has experience addressing trauma, grief, caregiving stress, ADHD-related struggles, and intimacy-related concerns. She works with issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and control problems. Her background includes helping people navigate divorce, parenting strain, and career transitions.
Sessions include clear goal-setting and short-term plans when that fits the person's needs. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where people learn skills and practice them in everyday life. To begin, clients answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site's online options.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Adina draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT often includes short experiments and practice exercises that target anxiety, anger, and low mood.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can help when reactivity or impulsivity makes communication and daily functioning harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adina discusses goals and preferences with each person and recommends techniques that fit their situation. She treats the choice of methods as a collaborative decision rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where problems occur, which many licensed professionals find useful when addressing anger and relationship challenges.
