Tiffany Ung

Tiffany Ung is a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, self-esteem difficulties, addictions, grief, ADHD, and life changes. Tiffany speaks English and Cantonese.

Her way of working is relaxed and interactive. Sessions focus on clear conversation about what feels hard now. She treats clients with respect and listens for strengths that can be used to move forward. Tiffany often combines practical problem-solving with attention to underlying patterns that keep problems repeating.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice repeated relationship patterns and how early experiences shape current choices. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when people want help finding motivation for change.

Tiffany helps people talk through parenting stress, relationship conflict, grief, and the restlessness that comes with life transitions and questions of life purpose. She also supports people managing ADHD symptoms and social anxiety in day-to-day life. Sessions aim to be conversational and focused on realistic steps that fit each person’s life.

Her background includes many years working with clients from diverse ethnic backgrounds in California. People who want a straightforward, strengths-minded clinician who speaks Cantonese as well as English often seek her approach.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people identify their own goals. This approach supports clearer decision making and builds on strengths the client already has. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses straightforward exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT can be useful for anxiety, social fears, low mood, and habit change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That means plans can shift as people notice what helps and what does not.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Working this way helps people try practical techniques between sessions and bring real-life situations into conversation.
