About Tiffany
Dr. Tiffany Thompson is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience practicing in Kentucky.
Background and approach
She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Dr.
Thompson aims to make therapy practical and down-to-earth for those juggling busy lives and messy feelings. Her style is warm and person-centered.
She listens closely and helps people name what matters most to them. Sessions often focus on small, usable steps that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Dr. Thompson uses several approaches to fit different needs, including the Gottman Method for relationship skills, attachment-based ideas for understanding patterns, and cognitive behavioral techniques for changing unhelpful thoughts.
She also draws on dialectical behavior strategies when emotion regulation is a core concern. People come to her for a wide range of issues such as parenting stress, intimacy difficulties, addiction concerns, career transitions, and chronic health challenges.
She pays attention to adoption and foster care histories, aging and caregiver stress, autism-related concerns, and body image issues when they are relevant to the problem at hand. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Dr. Thompson works with clients to create realistic goals and practical coping skills they can use between meetings.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Dr. Thompson commonly uses the Gottman Method to help people learn concrete communication and conflict management skills that can improve close relationships. Gottman-based techniques focus on practical behaviors like repair attempts, managing conversations, and increasing positive interactions.She also uses attachment-based ideas to help clients understand patterns that come from early relationships and how those patterns affect current emotional needs. Attachment work often looks at how people respond to intimacy, safety, and closeness and helps create new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit the person’s situation. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions offer useful flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work in real time with visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers no video. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or ongoing coaching-style contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules.
