About Tianna
Tianna Burroughs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, grief, and life changes. She brings a calm, direct manner and aims to make sessions feel approachable for worried parents and busy adults. She keeps the first sessions focused on what matters most to each person.
Tianna listens to daily struggles and safety concerns, then works with clients to set practical goals. She combines clear feedback with warmth to help people take small, useful steps forward.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in home-based care, schools, youth shelters, residential programs, and inpatient psychiatric settings. Those roles exposed her to many challenges such as depression, trauma, substance issues, and crisis stabilization. Her life experience growing up in a low-income area also informs her empathy and problem-focused style.
Tianna uses methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts shape feelings and actions. She also draws on mindfulness and breathing skills to help calm strong emotions. Sessions are guided by the client’s priorities and feedback, so the plan can change if something isn’t helping.
She earned a Master of Social Work from Indiana University and holds an LCSW license. Outside of work she has raised twins and a teen relative, moved often for family reasons, and enjoys outdoor time, yoga, and home design. Her practical approach aims to make everyday life feel more manageable.
How therapy methods translate to online care
Tianna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how people feel. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing daily routines. ACT helps people notice what matters most to them and take steps toward those values, which can aid with stress, avoidance, and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. She works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort. Feedback is welcomed so the plan can be adjusted as the work progresses, making therapy feel more collaborative and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions are good when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow for brief updates, homework, or steady support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule or workday.
