About Tinna
Tinna Palmer is a licensed social worker in Kansas who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and addiction. She draws on seven years of professional experience to support clients through life changes and mental health challenges. Her approach centers on listening first and building on each person's strengths.
Tinna believes people are experts in their own stories. She works alongside clients to identify practical steps that fit their daily lives.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, achievable changes that add up over time. Her work includes support for trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and difficulties with self-esteem and anger. She also helps people facing parenting strain, career transitions, and isolation or loneliness.
Communication problems, forgiveness, and dealing with guilt or shame are common topics in her sessions. Tinna uses a mix of well-known therapeutic methods to match what each person needs. She will tailor techniques so they make sense in the moment and in real life.
The emphasis is on collaboration, not on one-size-fits-all solutions. Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk things through and practice new skills. Tinna aims to empower people to handle setbacks and move toward clearer goals.
Her style is direct, supportive, and focused on building useful tools for everyday living.
Approaches that translate to online work
The therapist commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life purpose questions because it focuses on what someone wants their life to stand for and on practical steps toward that life.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors. CBT offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and social phobia by teaching skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options and adapt techniques to match a client's goals, preferences, and daily routine. That collaborative process helps make sure therapy feels useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is an issue or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients send updates and get brief support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or schooling schedules while keeping focus on progress and clarity.
