About Tyania
Tyania McConnell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience as a psychotherapist. She holds social work credentials including CSW and LMSW and practices with clients in Georgia. Her work covers stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Tyania centers the person in the room and treats them as the expert on their own story. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She combines conversation with techniques that help people manage strong emotions and daily pressures.
Her background includes work with people facing caregiving strain, chronic illness and pain, blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, and challenges related to aging and cancer. She also addresses problems that arise from first responder work and other high-stress roles.
In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Those approaches guide how she helps people notice patterns, try different responses, and build practical coping skills.
People who come for help often want straightforward tools for handling guilt, shame, or ongoing self-criticism. Tyania offers a calm, focused process that looks at what’s realistic to change now and what can be paced over time.
How her approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It helps when someone wants space to name what matters and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts and actions into manageable pieces to identify unhelpful patterns and try concrete alternatives. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating strong emotions and tolerating distress in the short term.Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with practical CBT exercises, adding DBT skills for intense moments, or keeping a client-centered stance to follow what emerges in sessions.
The practical benefit of online work is fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Many people find virtual sessions easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or medical appointments, and some prefer a shorter check-in when time is limited. The therapist can discuss how to structure sessions to match a client's routine and goals.
