About Tianna

Tianna Burroughs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, stress, parenting challenges, and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and listens closely, aiming to make the therapy room feel calm and straightforward for someone under pressure.

She approaches sessions with warmth and directness. Tianna believes clients are the experts on their own lives and helps them build on strengths they already have. She uses clear, practical tools to address problems rather than lengthy theory discussions.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people understand how thoughts and habits affect mood and behavior. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas when they fit a person’s goals. Exercises may include breathing practice, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, and small behavior changes to test new ways of coping.

Tianna earned her Master of Social Work from Indiana University and holds LCSW credentials. Her background includes home-based services, schools, youth shelters, residential programs, and inpatient psychiatric settings. That range brought experience with depression, substance issues, crisis care, and trauma-related problems.

She has personal experience raising children and caring for a family member, and those life roles influence her practical, family-minded focus. Outside of work she enjoys outdoor activities, yoga, and interior design. She works from Indiana and conducts sessions in English.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process and reduce the impact of traumatic memories. In practice this involves pacing conversations about painful events, teaching grounding and emotion-regulation strategies, and building safety and coping skills that can reduce overwhelm.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Clients work on clarifying values and taking small meaningful actions toward the life they want, even when tough emotions are present.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It focuses on understanding connection needs and developing more effective ways to ask for support and set boundaries.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. If something doesn’t feel helpful, she adjusts plans and asks for feedback to find what works best.

Many people find online therapy useful for fitting sessions into busy weeks and for keeping continuity when life causes frequent moves. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule a shorter check-in, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that fit a work break while still getting face-to-face conversation when needed.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
