About Tyjvanna
Tyjvanna Payne is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience in Georgia. She works with individual adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family issues, low self-esteem, and depression. Guilt and shame are listed among her focus areas, and she also addresses caregiver strain, communication and commitment problems, fatherhood concerns, and workplace stress.
She describes her style as authentic, adaptive, and direct. Sessions are practical and conversational. She helps people notice thinking patterns and make small behavior changes. Her approach aims to be straightforward rather than gentle for its own sake.
In sessions she talks through immediate concerns and the next steps a person can try between meetings. She often focuses on how thoughts affect feelings and choices. Conversations can include planning, role-play of difficult talks, and working through family of origin issues that still influence decisions.
Tyjvanna acknowledges the strain of race-related stress and discrimination as part of some clients' experience. She also lists seasonal affective disorder, life purpose questions, self-love, and men's and women's issues among areas she addresses. She frames work as collaborative and action-oriented.
Her background includes over a decade of counseling practice in Georgia as an LPC. People who choose her typically want clear feedback and practical steps. Prospective clients should confirm current session options when they book, including whether sessions are held in person or remotely.
How evidence-based techniques translate to remote sessions
Tyjvanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. One common approach she uses looks at the links between thinking, feeling, and acting; it helps when guilt or shame keeps someone stuck by identifying thought patterns and testing them against real situations. Another approach emphasizes practical skills such as communication practice, setting small goals, and rehearsal of difficult conversations to reduce anxiety and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than assuming one fixed method from the start.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera, which may suit times with limited quiet. Licensed professionals can use remote work to keep therapy practical and accessible, while still focusing on the same action steps and communication practice used in person.
