Background and approach
Sessions focus on identifying everyday struggles, building on strengths, and trying concrete tools that can be used between visits. She aims for a warm, straightforward approach that keeps therapy focused and useful. Her background includes work in correctional, outpatient, and community settings, which shaped her interest in realistic, hands-on support.
Tia earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Towson University and a Master of Science in Applied Psychology - Counseling from the University of Baltimore. In sessions she uses collaborative and strength-based methods along with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused ideas. That means she helps people spot patterns, test small changes, and track progress.
She adapts her methods to fit how each person prefers to work. Tia aims to build a warm working relationship so clients feel understood and able to try new strategies. Her goal is to help people move past obstacles and create clearer, more manageable next steps in daily life.
Practical approaches and online therapy options
Two of the approaches Tia uses are cognitive-behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to change how they feel. Solution-focused strategies concentrate on small, achievable steps and building on what already works in a person’s life.She also emphasizes a strength-based, relational style that centers the person's goals and preferences. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process - the therapist and client will try approaches together and adjust based on what helps most for the client’s needs and goals.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation for fuller interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick verbal check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging work well for short updates, homework notes, or when a written format feels more natural. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into busy days.
