Tierra Rushing

Tierra Rushing is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, career questions, and life transitions. She creates a calm, compassionate space where clients can name what’s hard and try small changes. Tierra focuses on practical tools people can use day to day to feel steadier and more purposeful.

She draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to tailor work to each person’s goals. Tierra also uses Client-Centered and Mindfulness practices to support emotional awareness and self-compassion. Sessions mix talking, skill-building, and planning so progress is concrete and realistic.

Tierra earned a Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University after completing a Bachelor of Social Work at the University of Central Florida. She has six years of experience working in varied settings with adults and adolescents dealing with depression, trauma, family conflict, and stress-related issues. That experience informs a flexible style that can use brief or longer-term approaches as needed.

In sessions she helps people address relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, mood disorders, ADHD-related struggles, and work-related stress. She pays attention to how life circumstances, coping patterns, and thinking styles interact. Tierra offers psychoeducation and practical referrals when additional supports would help.

Her aim is to help people build skills and pull on their own strengths so they can move toward clearer goals. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider whether her focus on practical tools and collaboration fits their needs.

How Tierra Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and helps people feel heard while they set their own goals. It supports clearer self-understanding and helps people decide what changes matter most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and patterns that get in the way of work or relationships.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and sensations without judgment. It can reduce reactivity and help with stress, emotional regulation, and staying present during career or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tierra collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That partnership helps shape whether sessions emphasize skills, insight, or moment-to-moment awareness.

Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into a busy week, reduces time spent traveling, and makes shorter check-ins easier to schedule. Discussing format and timing during the match process helps fit sessions into everyday life without interrupting work or family obligations.
