Tabatha Bassey , LMSW

Tabatha Bassey is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 15 years of experience supporting people through trauma, parenting challenges, depression, and major life transitions. Holding an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker - she brings a strengths-based perspective that centers each person's lived experience and resilience. Tabatha has worked with individuals affected by abuse, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, and a range of other life stressors including substance use and isolation.

Her practice emphasizes practical coping skills and compassionate support for those navigating grief, post-traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and the complexities of family systems. Tabatha approaches therapy as a collaborative process that honors a person’s knowledge of their own story while gently guiding toward greater well-being and functional change. Although therapy can be challenging, she views it as a courageous step toward clearer purpose and healthier relationships, and she is committed to walking alongside people as they work toward their goals.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Tabatha draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on healing from trauma and building practical coping skills. Trauma-focused interventions center on helping a person process difficult experiences in a paced, supportive way and reduce the ways traumatic memories affect daily life. Skills-based coping strategies teach tools for managing depression, stress, and parenting challenges - for example emotion regulation, stress management, and communication skills that improve relationships and daily functioning.

She also incorporates attachment-informed work to address relationship patterns that arise from early caregiving and adoption or foster care histories, helping people strengthen connections and repair relational wounds. Choosing the right approach is part of the clinical process - Tabatha collaborates with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting the plan over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to continue work across distances. These options allow people to receive consistent support, practice skills between sessions, and maintain momentum toward their goals with a licensed professional.
