About Tiffany

Tiffany Reaves brings 18 years of clinical experience to her work as a licensed social worker. She holds the Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker credential and the Licensed Independent Social Worker credential - AL LICSW 5361C and IA LISW 122114 - and practices from an approach shaped by trauma awareness.

Tiffany is straightforward and warm in session, offering a calm space for parents and families to talk through stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, and depression.

Background and approach

She draws on clear, practical methods rather than jargon. Sessions focus on concrete steps that can reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Tiffany listens without judgment and helps clients identify strengths they already have.

She encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time. Her background includes extensive work with people affected by trauma and abuse, including those who experienced physical or sexual abuse or neglect in childhood. That experience informs a trauma-focused perspective that keeps safety and pacing front and center during care.

She also supports families navigating adoption and foster care issues and helps with panic attacks and building self-love. Tiffany uses evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused methods. She adapts these tools to what each person needs in the moment.

The goal is to help families reduce conflict, manage symptoms, and strengthen relationships. Based in Alabama, Tiffany offers sessions in English and provides multiple online session formats. She guides people through the first steps and helps them set realistic goals for therapy.

Online approaches that fit family life

Online work with Tiffany often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change everyday habits. CBT helps when anxiety or panic attacks get in the way of parenting or day-to-day routines. Mindfulness therapy is another common tool she uses to help people notice stress and build small habits for calm. Mindfulness can be useful for managing strong emotions and reducing reactivity in family interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tiffany treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit each person or family. She adapts techniques based on goals, comfort, and what feels useful in real life rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These formats allow parents and caregivers to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during transitions, and follow up between meetings. The variety of options supports ongoing work on parenting, stress management, and recovery from trauma while keeping therapy practical and accessible for family life.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
