About Tiana

Tiana Clark is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who focuses on practical, skills-based therapy for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, parenting struggles, and self-esteem issues. She uses straightforward techniques to help clients notice what's happening, build new coping skills, and make choices that match their values.

The tone is calm and encouraging, aimed at people who want clear tools and steady support. Her practice emphasizes trauma-informed care and mindfulness.

Background and approach

Sessions often include breathing and grounding exercises, emotion regulation skills, and conversations that help people understand unhelpful patterns. Tiana draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills that reduce distress in daily life. Tiana also works from an attachment-based perspective to help people see how early relationships shape current reactions.

That can be useful when someone wants to change how they connect, set boundaries, or respond to caregiver stress. She mentions caregiver issues, codependency, and family-of-origin concerns among common topics she addresses. She brings four years of clinical experience and identifies North Carolina as her practice region under license NC LCMHC 9358.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. Tiana aims for a collaborative style.

She invites clients to set goals and to try skills in real life between sessions. The work is paced to match each person’s needs and readiness to change.

Therapeutic approaches suited for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match personal values. It can reduce avoidance and help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on teaching concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. Those tools often help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and supports rebuilding healthier ways of connecting and responding to caregiver stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and what feels most useful. Together they will test techniques and adjust the plan so the therapy fits the client’s needs and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow continued access to skill practice, check-ins, and coaching between meetings. For many people, remote options make it easier to attend regularly and to try new coping strategies in daily life.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
