About Poonam
Poonam Thadani is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with four years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and the challenge of life changes. She speaks English and Hindi and works with adults who want practical ways to manage everyday strain.
Poonam uses straightforward conversation to understand what is most difficult for each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based ideas to notice patterns of thought and relationship habits that keep problems going. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings as well as what comes up in the session.
Her style is client-centered and emotionally focused when relationships and attachment issues are involved. That means she pays attention to feelings in the moment and to how people connect with important others. Poonam also uses existential concepts to help people clarify values and purpose when they feel stuck or aimless.
In practice she combines approaches rather than using one method alone. She will talk with a client about short-term goals, practical strategies, and ways to reduce unhelpful thinking. She also attends to patterns that began in family relationships when those patterns affect current interactions.
People who meet with her can expect a mix of reflective conversation and concrete skills work. She asks about what matters to each person and suggests small, testable changes. To begin, visitors follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Poonam commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based approaches in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering step-by-step strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences influence current reactions, which can help when relationship concerns or loneliness are central.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss your goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try first. That collaboration helps prioritize practical skills or deeper relational work depending on what you want to address.
