Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. She uses clear tools you can try between meetings and adapts techniques to fit each person’s needs. Tia trained at Towson University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and earned a Master of Science in Applied Psychology - Counseling from the University of Baltimore.
Her background includes work in correctional, outpatient, and community settings, which shaped how she approaches complex life situations. In therapy she combines relational and strength-based ways of working with cognitive behavioral methods and solution-focused techniques. That mix aims to help people change unhelpful thinking, build on existing strengths, and set small, achievable goals.
Sessions try to balance listening with practical steps. The aim is to help clients identify patterns, practice new skills, and move toward clearer next steps. Tia strives to create a respectful space where progress can happen at a steady, manageable pace.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Tia uses cognitive behavioral techniques that help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. These methods are practical and often include simple exercises to try between sessions, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.She also draws on solution-focused methods which concentrate on setting clear, short-term goals and building on what already works. This approach can be helpful for life transitions, coping with change, and finding concrete next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client work together to choose methods that fit the person’s goals, daily life, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. These formats let people connect from home, balance appointments with other responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care when schedules change. Tia uses these options to make it easier for clients to try therapy in a way that suits their routines and needs.
