About Uma

Dr. Uma Subbiah helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and a wide range of life challenges. She addresses relationship strain, mood disorders, substance and addiction concerns, grief, and difficulties with sleep, eating, and intimacy.

Dr. Subbiah is a psychologist licensed in Ohio and Illinois. She brings 22 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on building a respectful working relationship. Her style is collaborative and straightforward - she listens, asks practical questions, and sets clear goals with each person.

Her practice draws on cognitive behavioral therapy as one main approach, along with client-centered and mindfulness techniques. She uses solution-focused ideas and motivational interviewing when those fit a client’s needs. Sessions typically focus on skills you can use between meetings and on changes that feel doable in everyday life.

People meet with her to work on trauma and post-traumatic stress, bipolar and other mood disorders, panic attacks, compassion fatigue, body image and codependency. She also helps with communication problems, domestic violence recovery, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.

Dr. Subbiah offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. She practices from Ohio and conducts therapy in English. Her licenses are listed as OH Psychologist P.5530 and IL Psychologist 071007510.

Practical therapies that work online

Dr. Subbiah often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT focuses on learning small, practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood symptoms.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers on listening and understanding each person without judgment. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies personal goals before moving to skill-based work.

Mindfulness therapy is another tool she brings in to help with stress, sleep, and emotion regulation. Simple breathing and attention exercises are taught and practiced so clients have concrete ways to reduce tension between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, consider a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust methods as progress is made. That collaboration helps tailor the plan to what actually helps the individual.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and face-to-face connection, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and use the format that best matches their needs.
