About Tiffany

Tiffany Ung is a California licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting difficulties, addiction concerns, grief, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles.

She sees clients from varied backgrounds and focuses on practical ways to manage symptoms and daily challenges. Sessions tend to be conversational and interactive, with attention to how past experiences shape current feelings and behavior.

Tiffany blends several methods in session. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters to each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and to try different coping strategies in everyday life.

Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when people want help with behavior change or substance concerns. She also brings psychodynamic ideas to explore recurring patterns and attachment-related issues that show up in relationships.

Typical topics include communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, life purpose, social anxiety, and women’s issues. Sessions aim to be practical: set a goal, test small changes, and review what helps. Tiffany conducts work in English and Cantonese and practices in California.

How her clinical approaches translate to online work

Tiffany commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in session. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to clarify what matters to the client and build goals together. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to change how someone feels and acts, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also uses motivational interviewing when clients want support making behavior changes such as reducing substance use or improving routines. That approach helps people weigh options, strengthen motivation, and choose realistic next steps. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; Tiffany will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions allow them to practice new skills between meetings and apply changes directly to their daily routines.
