About Tia

Tia Stone is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Texas. She uses five years of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and other difficult life moments. Her style is warm and direct, focused on practical steps and clear conversations that parents and caregivers can follow.

She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful from the first visit. In sessions she listens first and asks about what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

She mixes listening with goal-oriented techniques so clients leave with concrete next steps. Tia emphasizes communication skills, coping tools, and ways to manage sleep, anger, and low self-esteem. She also addresses relationship strains, grief, trauma, and career-related stress.

Tia draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy when change requires building motivation and clear short-term goals. These approaches are used in plain language and tied to everyday problems parents report.

Her work often involves practical problem solving for daily life. That can include improving routines, setting boundaries, and finding ways to handle compassion fatigue or caregiver stress. She helps people weigh options, practice new skills, and track small changes over time.

Sessions are offered in English and are available via video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging. Tia holds the Texas LCSW credential - TX LCSW 62667 - and uses an approach that aims to be collaborative and action-focused.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit busy lives

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to each person’s experience and responding without judgment. It’s helpful when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and to set their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete tools to change patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or sleep troubles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tia will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time if something isn’t helping.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and caregiving schedules. They also allow people to use tools learned in sessions in real time, share quick updates between meetings, and keep momentum when life gets busy.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
