About Uma
Dr. Uma Subbiah is a clinical psychologist practicing in Ohio. She brings 22 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, addictions, and a wide range of other life challenges.
She aims to build a respectful, collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and can work toward practical goals. Her sessions focus on what matters to each person. She listens first and then uses therapy methods that fit the person's needs.
Background and approach
Common concerns she addresses include relationship struggles, grief, sleep and eating issues, mood disorders, and challenges related to identity and cultural background. Dr. Subbiah blends evidence-informed approaches to match each individual's goals.
Sessions often include learning skills to manage difficult emotions, practicing new ways of thinking and reacting, and experimenting with small behavior changes between meetings. She encourages steady progress through short-term goals and skill-building. People come to her for help with career stress, parenting pressures, coping after trauma, and problems like anger or panic attacks.
She also supports those facing isolation, immigration-related stress, or compassion fatigue from caregiving roles. Her work tries to balance emotional understanding with practical steps that make daily life easier. She holds psychologist credentials in Ohio and Illinois and sees clients in English.
Dr. Subbiah uses a collaborative style that focuses on clear goals and real-world changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Dr. Subbiah commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, accepting relationship where the client’s priorities guide each session and emotional understanding is central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and then practicing concrete skills to change them, which helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and panic.She approaches treatment collaboratively. Early sessions are used to agree on goals and pick the methods that best fit the person’s needs and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills practice, emotional processing, or short-term solution work, and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual connection matters, while phone sessions can be a simpler option that uses less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work even when in-person visits aren’t possible.
