About Na-Amau

Na-Amau Tahiru is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a CSW practising in Georgia with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, anger, career shifts, and coping with life changes. She also addresses compassion fatigue and ADHD alongside a broader set of concerns such as family of origin issues and caregiver stress.

Na-Amau works from a person-centered stance that treats the client as the expert on their own life. Sessions tend to focus on identifying current patterns that come from earlier family roles and expectations. Conversations are practical and aimed at helping people notice when old habits shape their choices now.

She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to help people recognize and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas are used to clarify values and commit to manageable steps toward them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concepts inform work around attachment and emotional connection in important relationships.

In sessions she listens for how family of origin patterns show up in daily life and helps name those patterns. That can include communication problems, control issues, or the effects of long-term caregiving. Work may move between problem-solving and processing feelings depending on what the person needs that week.

Na-Amau speaks English, Hausa, and Twi. She accepts international clients and offers a practice shaped by clear, goal-oriented conversations and practical tools for everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small, value-driven steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them. CBT often suits worry, low mood, and problems with routine or sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Na-Amau will discuss these methods with each person and decide together which ideas to use based on goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and may shift as needs change over time.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to work with a licensed professional across different locations, including international arrangements, while keeping sessions focused on real-life problems and practical strategies.
