Tyania McConnell

Tyania McConnell is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of psychotherapy experience. She values each person as the expert of their own life and focuses on helping people take the first steps toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping. Tyania holds LCSW, CSW, and LMSW credentials and practices in Georgia and Michigan. Her approach is direct and practical. She helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and career challenges. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Tyania draws on methods that emphasize clients' needs and strengths rather than one-size-fits-all techniques. Tyania uses client-centered work to keep conversations focused on what matters most to each person. She applies cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices appear in sessions to manage intense emotions and improve daily functioning. Her practice includes attention to complex family and caregiving issues, adoption and foster care concerns, aging and geriatric matters, chronic illness and pain, and stress linked to first responder roles. She also helps with communication problems, commitment concerns, and the effects of natural or human-caused disasters. People who want straightforward, respectful support during career shifts, relationship confusion, or recovery from loss often find this style helpful. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort and goals.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's experience and values. The therapist listens closely and helps people identify their own goals and strengths, which can be useful for stress, grief, and career decisions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and work-related stress.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for distress tolerance and emotional regulation useful after trauma or during periods of high stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on how the client responds.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow for quicker check-ins around work or caregiving schedules, and let people use skills learned in real-time settings. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm available options before booking to make sure the chosen method fits your routine and needs.
