About Tierra
Tierra Rushing is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. She creates a calm, supportive space where people can talk through what’s happening and figure out next steps. Tierra aims to help clients use their own strengths while learning new tools for daily life.
She draws on common-sense approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to address problems such as panic, mood changes, grief, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills - for example spotting unhelpful thoughts, building coping routines, and practicing small behavior changes that add up over time. Her training includes a Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Central Florida.
Tierra has six years of clinical experience working in different settings and with a range of difficulties related to anxiety, trauma, and stress. In sessions she emphasizes collaboration. Clients set goals, and she offers tools and feedback tuned to each person’s situation.
She also provides education and referrals when additional resources would help. Tierra works with concerns that commonly overlap, such as ADHD, bipolar and other mood disorders, and issues around self-esteem, relationships, parenting, and career stress. Her aim is steady progress - small, manageable steps toward more stable daily functioning and clearer priorities.
How Tierra Uses Therapy Methods Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and goals. Tierra listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, offering guidance and choices rather than a fixed plan. This approach is useful for people who want a respectful, collaborative process.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Mindfulness techniques are often added to help with stress and emotional regulation by training attention and calmness in daily life.
Finding the right approach usually happens together. Tierra will talk about what’s working and adjust methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and a full session feel important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat offer flexible ways to stay connected between sessions or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the therapist’s tools and support.
