Tyania McConnell, LCSW, CSW, LMSW

Tyania McConnell is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people through major life challenges. She emphasizes each person's strengths and treats the client as the expert of their own story. Tyania focuses on making the first steps feel manageable and steady rather than overwhelming.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to address stress, anxiety, and depression. Sessions often include skills to manage strong emotions, ways to reframe unhelpful thoughts, and steps to rebuild confidence after loss or big transitions. The work is collaborative and paced to what the person needs in the moment.

Tyania has supported people facing grief, caregiver strain, chronic health issues, and workplace burnout. She also helps with relationship concerns, communication problems, and life changes such as adoption or blended family adjustments. First responders and people coping with trauma or compassion fatigue are within her experience as well.

Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, dialectical behavior strategies, existential reflection, and mindfulness practices. These approaches are used in service of clear, actionable goals like reducing panic, improving sleep, or strengthening daily coping habits.

Tyania practices in Georgia and holds credentials including Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Clinical Social Worker (CSW), and Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW). Sessions are offered in English and tailored to each person's schedule and preferences.

How chosen approaches work online

CBT helps people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety or low mood. Online sessions can focus on thought records, activity scheduling, and homework that you do between meetings to see real progress.

Client-centered therapy centers on responsive listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering support and reflection to help clarify goals and make choices that feel right for them.

DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, handling conflict, and tolerating distress. Online skill coaching can include practice in real time and brief check-ins that help apply skills between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that fit best. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the plan.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules - for example a short phone check-in on a work break, video calls for deeper conversations, or messaging for quick skill reminders. They expand access and let people mix formats as needs change.
