About Tia
Tia Savage is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings 15 years of practice to conversations about stress, anxiety, ADHD, parenting concerns, and life transitions. She keeps things practical and focused on problem solving. Sessions aim to identify strengths and build everyday skills that make life easier to manage.
Tia uses a client-centered stance that starts with listening and understanding each person’s situation. She combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to break problems into small, doable steps.
Background and approach
Mindfulness tools are offered to help with stress and emotional regulation. Her approach is down-to-earth. She helps people notice what works, try small changes, and track real progress.
Many clients work together on routines, coping strategies, and communication skills that fit their daily life. Tia has a background in social work and coaching. She earned a Master of Social Work from Simmons College and became a LICSW in 2008.
She also completed a Life Coaching certificate at the University of New Hampshire in 2016, and she draws on that coaching perspective when clients want goal-focused support. Over the years she has supported teens, young adults, and parents during school transitions, job searches, and the challenge of managing anxiety and motivation.
Her practice combines practical problem solving, skill building, and encouragement so clients can move toward clearer routines and better day-to-day functioning.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. Online sessions start with the therapist asking about your goals and preferences, then tailoring support so it fits your life and values.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into small steps and teaches practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions this can mean setting short, trackable tasks between meetings and checking progress over video or messaging.
Mindfulness therapy introduces simple exercises to reduce stress and increase awareness of emotional patterns. Short guided practices or breathing exercises are easy to deliver over phone or video and can be repeated by clients between contacts.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to find what fits best for your needs and goals, adjusting methods as progress is made. That might mean mixing client-centered conversation, CBT exercises, and mindfulness practices over time.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when internet is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching and between-session planning. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.
