About Tyania
Tyania McConnell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience as a psychotherapist. She is licensed in Georgia as an LCSW and has previous licensure experience in Michigan as an LMSW. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, career questions, and coping with life changes.
She works in a straightforward, person-focused way and treats each client as the best expert on their own story. Sessions often concentrate on practical skills for managing anxiety and stress. Tyania also supports people facing grief, career transitions, or the fatigue that comes from caregiving and first responder work.
Her background includes work with issues connected to family relationships and family of origin issues. She brings this perspective into sessions when patterns from childhood affect current choices and relationships. She also addresses concerns related to adoption and foster care, blended family matters, aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, and cancer-related stress.
Clinically, Tyania uses client-centered approaches alongside evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She incorporates existential and mindfulness ideas to help people find meaning and calm in difficult moments. Conversations move between identifying difficult thoughts and practicing skills for handling them in daily life.
Her work is practical and focused on the here-and-now. She helps people clarify goals, learn coping strategies, and test new ways of responding to old patterns. People who want direct, skill-based support for managing emotions and changing long-standing relationship patterns may find her approach useful.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-centered work means conversations focus on the person's priorities and perspective. The therapist listens for what matters most and helps shape the plan around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can help with strong reactions and relationship difficulties.Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to try options that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean using CBT exercises for specific symptoms, practicing DBT skills for emotional control, or adopting mindfulness and existential questions when exploring meaning and values.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help maintain consistency during work or caregiving schedules, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements and pacing when scheduling the first session.
