Background and approach
From there she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to reduce worry and shift unhelpful patterns. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Simmons College and a life coaching certificate from the University of New Hampshire. That mix of clinical training and coaching informs a hands-on, goals-oriented style.
Sessions often involve planning small, actionable steps and practicing skills between appointments. Tia has worked with teens and young adults through major life transitions. She has supported people navigating the college search and application process, developing job and vocational skills, and building social confidence.
She also supports parents who want tools to help their children learn coping and self-care skills. Typical areas she addresses include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, career questions, and managing life changes. Her aim is to be a steady, nonjudgmental ally while helping clients move toward clearer next steps and healthier routines.
Using practical approaches in online therapy
Client-centered therapy begins with attentive listening and asking questions that matter to you. It helps create a clear picture of your goals so sessions focus on what you want to change or improve. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and introduces exercises to try different responses; it is often used for anxiety and mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean mixing client-centered listening with CBT exercises or bringing in mindfulness moments during a session. Plans are adjusted based on what helps most in everyday life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and hands-on skill practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send notes or short updates between sessions and fit work on skills into busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing school, work, and family obligations.
