About Tyania
Tyania McConnell is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on ten years of psychotherapy experience to support people during challenging life moments. She values each person's strengths and treats clients as experts in their own stories. Tyania aims to create a calm, respectful setting where people can take the next step toward a more satisfying life.
She is licensed in Georgia (LCSW) and also holds LMSW and CSW credentials. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and career concerns. She also offers coaching-style support for practical goals and decision-making.
Tyania uses approaches that help people connect feelings to actions. She works with client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps when thoughts and behaviors get stuck, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
She pays attention to broader life contexts, including adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and first responder stress. Communication problems, family of origin issues, and blended family dynamics are also areas she addresses in sessions.
Tyania is particularly interested in supporting women of color as they navigate mental health challenges. She encourages straightforward conversations about goals, coping strategies, and small steps clients can try between meetings.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects what the client says and helps clarify goals so sessions stay relevant to the person's life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around career or relationship decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. If one technique isn't helping, adjustments are made together so sessions stay practical and meaningful.
Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and options for shorter check-ins when needed. Because the exact session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm available session options before booking. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus to fit daily routines and responsibilities, making it simpler to practice new skills between meetings.
