Tianna Burroughs (she/her), LCSW

Tianna Burroughs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful. She speaks plainly, listens without judgment, and works with people who are looking for practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, or relationship struggles.

She uses a warm but direct style and believes the person in front of her knows their life best. Sessions focus on finding concrete skills clients can use between meetings. Tianna often teaches breathing and mindfulness exercises to help with emotional regulation and calm immediate distress.

Her background includes eight years of clinical work across home-based services, schools, youth shelters, residential programs, and inpatient psychiatric settings. She has supported people coping with depression, trauma and abuse, substance use concerns, parenting strain, grief, and major life changes.

Tianna studied human development and family studies at the undergraduate level and completed a Master of Social Work at Indiana University. She has held licenses as an LCSW in Tennessee and Indiana and currently practices in Indiana.

In sessions she commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts shape feelings and actions. She also integrates acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-focused thinking when helpful. Many clients work on communication, coping skills, relapse prevention, or rebuilding routines after big life shifts.

Outside of work she has raised twins and cared for family members, so she knows how exhausting caregiving can feel. She enjoys outdoor time, yoga, and interior design when not meeting with clients.

How Tianna's approaches translate to online care

Tianna draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people find concrete changes and values-based direction. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to shift mood and function, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related struggles. ACT emphasizes noticing inner experiences, clarifying personal values, and taking actions that align with those values to manage distress and build a meaningful life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques, and adjust strategies as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant to their daily life.

Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, skill coaching between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and maintain continuity across life transitions.
