Tianna Burroughs (she/her) , LCSW

Tianna Burroughs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who combines professional training with lived experience to support people navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional distress. She holds an undergraduate degree in Human Development and Family Studies and a Master of Social Work from Indiana University, and she draws on a breadth of clinical experience gained in home-based services, schools, youth shelters, residential programs, and inpatient psychiatric settings.

With eight years of clinical practice, Tianna has worked with individuals across the lifespan on concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance misuse, parenting struggles, relationship difficulties, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and crisis stabilization. Her background growing up in a disadvantaged community of northern Indiana informs a practical, empathetic perspective that fosters understanding and connection with clients facing hardship.

Her therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental while remaining honest and direct. Tianna views clients as the experts on their own lives and uses strength-based and solution-focused methods to help people identify and build on strengths they may not recognize. She frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a method that explores how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors - along with mindfulness and breathing techniques to support emotional regulation. Feedback from clients is welcomed and she encourages open communication when approaches need adjustment.

Outside of clinical work, Tianna stepped away from practice for several years to care for her twins and raise a teenage niece. She and her family have lived in Indiana, Texas, and Tennessee due to her husbandâs employment in mental health. In her free time she enjoys outdoor adventures, yoga, and interior design.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Tianna Burroughs

Tianna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that influence emotions and behaviors, which can be useful for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relationship patterns and early bonds that affect current connections and emotional responses, a helpful approach for family, relationship, and attachment concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may be incorporated to teach acceptance and values-based action when clients face difficult feelings or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tianna works collaboratively to select techniques that fit each personâs needs, goals, and preferences. She invites feedback and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy modalities such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access a licensed professional from locations that are convenient for the client.
