About Tierra
Tierra Rushing is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who focuses on practical support for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life changes. She creates a calm, compassionate space where clients can talk through problems and build on their own strengths. Tierra aims to help people find clearer direction and better daily routines without overwhelming jargon.
She uses a mix of approaches to meet each person where they are.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behavior. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and following the client’s goals. Mindfulness techniques help with managing stress and staying present.
Before independent practice, Tierra earned a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Central Florida in 2014 and a Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University in 2015 through the Advanced Standing Program. Over six years of practice have included both longer-term care and brief interventions across varied settings.
Her background includes work addressing trauma, family conflict, mood disorders, and parenting challenges, along with psychoeducation and referrals when additional resources are needed. Tierra tailors interventions to fit a person’s life and priorities, sharing practical exercises and clear steps to try between sessions. People who prefer straightforward, goal-focused conversation and usable tools may find her approach helpful.
She encourages honest goal-setting and steady progress, with attention to everyday skills that support lasting change.
Approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s own goals; the therapist reflects concerns and helps people set achievable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which works well for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and mood-related patterns. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve moment-to-moment awareness.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tierra will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods together. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit care into work, school, or family schedules while still using CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered methods in practical ways.
