About Tia
Tia Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship struggles, and major life changes. She focuses on practical support to boost self-esteem, build coping skills, and offer a new perspective when routines and relationships feel strained.
Tia uses straightforward listening and steady guidance to help people navigate grief, mood disorders, addiction concerns, trauma, and career transitions. Her style is warm and direct.
Background and approach
She listens closely and encourages clients to use their own life experiences as a starting point for change. Sessions tend to be focused on small, doable steps rather than abstract talk. Tia draws on proven techniques to tailor the work to each person’s needs.
She trained in psychology and social work and holds a Master of Science in Social Work. Her long career includes work with children, youth, and adults across individual, group, and family settings. Tia’s background gives her practical insight into everyday challenges that affect parents and caregivers.
In her approach she aims to meet people where they are and collaborate on clear goals. That might mean building new coping strategies, improving communication, or addressing patterns tied to family history. She guides conversations with empathy and attention to real-life demands like parenting and work.
Tia is licensed in Tennessee as LCSW 6588 and also holds an MS LCSW credential C9077. She conducts sessions in English and works with people across a broad range of concerns including parenting and family issues common in Tennessee communities.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit family life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, life changes, and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and planning. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tia will listen to your goals and try methods that match your situation. She collaborates with clients to adjust techniques over time so the plan stays realistic and useful for daily family demands.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Tia offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so parents and caregivers can connect in ways that suit their schedules. These options allow for ongoing support between appointments and flexible ways to practice new skills in everyday settings.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
