Tyania McConnell, LCSW, CSW, LMSW

Tyania McConnell is a licensed social worker who brings ten years of clinical experience to her practice. She emphasizes each person's strengths and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. Tyania aims to support people who are ready to take the first steps toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.

She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, career challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also addresses caregiving strain, chronic illness and pain, adoption and foster care issues, cancer-related distress, and aging and geriatric issues. Relationship and communication problems, family of origin matters, and first responder stress are included in the list of areas she helps people talk through.

Tyania draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions collaborative and focused on each person's priorities. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help people change unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills. Mindfulness and existential approaches are used to help clients find meaning and tolerate uncertainty.

She holds the titles LCSW, CSW, and LMSW and is licensed in Georgia and Michigan. Tyania emphasizes straightforward conversation and practical steps in sessions. People who want a respectful, strengths-based approach that keeps real life constraints in mind may find her style helpful.

To begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-Centered Therapy places the person and their goals at the center of each session. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and helps arrange conversations around what the client finds most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying CBT exercises for a while, then adding mindfulness practices or a client-centered focus to address meaning and values.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets clients use skills learned in sessions during their usual routines, which can help with practicing new ways of coping between meetings.
