About Tianna

Tianna Burroughs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping parents and caregivers navigate stress, parenting challenges, and family concerns. She speaks plainly and listens closely so parents feel heard. Her style is warm, compassionate, and straightforward.

She aims to build a comfortable space where people can talk through hard moments and find practical ways forward. Tianna earned her Master of Social Work from Indiana University and brings eight years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

Her background includes home-based services, schools, youth shelters, residential programs, and inpatient psychiatric settings. That range gives her experience with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance concerns, relationship problems, and crisis situations. She uses evidence-based tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and integrates mindfulness and breathing techniques to help regulate emotions.

Tianna also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to strengthen relationships and improve communication. Her approach is strength-based and solution focused, helping people identify skills they already have and use them in new ways. Tianna values honest feedback and works collaboratively with each person to shape therapy.

She balances empathy with clear guidance so sessions stay practical and goal-oriented. Parents and caregivers who want direct, respectful support around family and parenting concerns may find her approach helpful. Outside of work she has personal experience caring for children at home and has lived in multiple states while raising a family.

She enjoys outdoor activities, yoga, and interior design in her free time.

Approaches to online family and parenting support

Tianna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when helping people with family and parenting concerns. CBT focuses on noticing how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, and behavior changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current connections, which can be useful for parent-child dynamics and improving communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person and family, and adjust strategies based on what helps. Clients are treated as partners who know their lives best, and sessions aim to build on existing strengths while teaching new skills.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats let parents access support from home between appointments, practice skills in real time, and keep therapy working around busy schedules. The range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care while trying different approaches to find what works.

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.

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.
