About Tiara
Tiara Shoals, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety find clearer ways forward. She offers calm, straightforward support for common life pressures like relationship strain, family conflict, career stress, and low self-esteem. Tiara uses plain language and a steady presence so conversations feel manageable and focused.
Clients can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space to talk through what’s most troubling them. Tiara listens first, then helps people identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
She encourages realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her approach blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means Tiara centers each person’s experience while also working on thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
Together they build simple skills for coping, communicating, and managing emotions. Tiara has three years of experience as a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma. She has supported people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, postpartum and pregnancy concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, among other issues.
She also addresses multicultural concerns, codependency, and blended family challenges. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what matters most to the client. Tiara can guide someone through making changes, repairing relationships, or finding more self-compassion.
She offers direct tools and regular check-ins to track how things are improving over time.
How Tiara’s Methods Work Online
Tiara uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels heard and understood; it helps people clarify values and find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tiara will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress is made, with regular check-ins to see if the approach fits.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video is good for a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets someone send updates or reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical change and steady support.
