About Tiana
Tiana Reid is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with seven years of professional experience. She has a long history working in school settings and vocational rehabilitation before moving into clinical practice. Tiana lists stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationships, and trauma and abuse among the issues she addresses.
Tiana spent 25 years as a high school school counselor, and that school-based experience shapes how she talks with clients. She is familiar with goal setting and addresses practical steps alongside emotional concerns. She helps people who are carrying guilt or shame to talk about what happened and how it affects daily life.
In sessions she focuses on clear conversation and planning. That can mean breaking big worries into smaller steps, practicing communication skills, or naming patterns that keep someone feeling stuck. She also supports people dealing with social anxiety and phobia, impulsivity, and struggles with self-love.
Her background includes work in vocational rehabilitation, which informs an interest in practical problem solving and connecting emotional work to everyday functioning. She aims to adapt conversations and plans to the person sitting across from her, rather than follow a single script.
Tiana works in English and is based in North Carolina. People interested in starting can use the site matching questionnaire to schedule a first session and confirm current session options and formats.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques to address guilt, shame, anxiety, and trauma. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and shift self-critical thinking. They are useful when someone wants clear steps and homework to practice between sessions.Exposure-based techniques help people who avoid social situations or feel intense fear by gradually and safely increasing contact with those situations. This method breaks down bigger fears into manageable tasks and builds confidence through repeated practice.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, past experiences, and current struggles, then try methods that match what feels most useful. Adjustments are made over time based on how the client responds.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the original biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or offering options that work around work or school schedules. Ask about the exact session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements suit your daily routine.
