About Tinna
Tinna Palmer is a Kansas-licensed social worker, LSCSW, with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, and guilt and shame. Her practice also addresses family and parenting concerns, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and trouble coping with life changes.
Palmer takes a straightforward, person-focused style. She treats the client as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions center on practical steps and clear goals rather than vague theory. Conversations aim to make everyday choices feel more manageable.
She uses a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means clients can expect work on thoughts and behaviors, plus space to reflect on values and what matters most. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when those tools fit the issue.
Treatment topics often include communication problems, forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and self-love alongside more acute concerns like trauma, addictions, and mood disorders. Palmer supports people exploring guilt or shame tied to relationships, family, faith, or past actions, helping them name and work through those feelings.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. She helps people set short-term goals and tries to keep steps clear and doable. For next steps the site’s booking flow can be used to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions that match those values. It can help when guilt or shame makes it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and reactive thinking. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and uses reflective listening to help people make sense of their experience and decide what to try next.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That selection can shift as progress is made or as new issues surface.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel time, making shorter check-ins possible, or offering ways to continue between appointments. Therapists can use ACT and CBT tools in conversation, with worksheets or between-session tasks that fit into daily routines.
