Tianna Burroughs (she/her) , LCSW

Tianna Burroughs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing from Indiana who brings both professional training and personal perspective to her work. With eight years of clinical experience, she supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family challenges, parenting struggles, grief, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, self-esteem and career concerns, and other life transitions.

She earned an undergraduate degree in Human Development and Family Studies and a Master of Social Work from Indiana University in 2009. Tianna's background includes work in home-based services, schools, youth shelters, residential programs, and inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, giving her familiarity with varied settings and age groups. Growing up in an under-resourced area of northern Indiana shaped her understanding of hardship and informs the empathy she brings to clinical work.

Tianna's therapeutic approach is warm, compassionate and nonjudgmental while also being honest and direct. She relies on strength-based and solution-focused methods, helping clients identify and build on skills they already possess. She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore how thoughts shape feelings and behaviors, and incorporates mindfulness and breathing exercises to aid emotional regulation. Tianna values client feedback and views clients as experts on their own lives, collaborating with them to set the pace and focus of therapy.

After taking time away from professional work to stay home with her twins and help raise her teenage niece, Tianna returned to practice with renewed dedication. She and her family have lived in Indiana, Texas and Tennessee due to her husband's career in mental health. Outside of work she enjoys outdoor adventures, yoga and interior design, and she brings practical, real-world understanding to help clients navigate change and build resilience.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Tianna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients understand how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and to practice concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression and everyday stressors. She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in relationships and family dynamics, which can be especially helpful for parenting challenges, blended family issues and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy guides her overall stance in sessions - listening with empathy, following the client's lead, and creating space for individuals to identify their own goals and solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tianna works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She invites client feedback and adjusts techniques as therapy progresses so that the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing busy schedules or caregiving responsibilities. Tianna provides support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage in ways that feel most comfortable and accessible. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice therapeutic skills between sessions with guidance from a licensed professional or therapist.
