About Tiffany

Tiffany Reaves is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of practice. She holds LICSW and LISW credentials and works from Alabama. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression.

Tiffany has particular experience supporting people who experienced physical or sexual abuse and neglect in childhood. She uses a trauma-informed lens and keeps sessions open and nonjudgmental so people can speak honestly about painful events. She emphasizes clients' strengths and helps them build on what already works in their lives.

In sessions she listens first and helps people name immediate concerns. She uses practical strategies to reduce anxiety and manage cravings. She also helps people address difficult family dynamics and parenting stress with clear, step-by-step ideas.

Tiffany combines structured tools with reflective work. That can mean skill practice drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and short-term goal planning. It can also mean learning mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.

She encourages clients to set realistic goals and to move at a pace that feels manageable. The work is collaborative: Tiffany and the client decide together what to try next. Small changes and steady practice are framed as progress toward better functioning and wellbeing.

How trauma-informed care and practical methods translate online

Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on addressing the ways past harm affects day-to-day life. It focuses on processing distressing memories and building safer patterns of thinking and behavior so people can move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and reduce reactivity. These skills can help with panic symptoms and with staying present during stressful moments. Tiffany uses these approaches to give concrete tools people can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Decisions about pacing and focus are made together so people feel they are in control of their care.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, keeping sessions shorter when needed, or using practices like mindfulness during or after meetings. Ask about available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can plan what will work best for you.
