About Tyania

Tyania McConnell is a licensed clinical social worker who guides people through difficult life chapters. She holds LCSW, CSW, and LMSW credentials and brings about ten years of therapy experience. She emphasizes each person’s strengths and treats clients as the expert on their own life story.

She focuses on practical steps to reduce worry and manage low mood. She helps people talk through stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, career challenges, and relationship concerns. Money and financial issues are part of the areas she addresses when they affect daily life and decision making.

Her style is warm and respectful. Sessions prioritize the client’s goals and build tools for coping with change and chronic stress. She uses straightforward techniques aimed at immediate problems and longer-term patterns.

In therapy she blends approaches to fit the person in the room. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, building emotion-regulation skills, and returning attention to personal values and meaning. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Tyania works from a strengths-based viewpoint and helps people plan practical steps forward. She explains options clearly and partners with clients to try approaches that match their needs. To begin, use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on the client’s strengths; it helps people feel heard and decide what matters most for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce worry and lift mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides clear tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal functioning and coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and personal preferences. Clients and therapist review what helps and adjust strategies as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. It can also let people join from a quieter space or use audio-only when video would be difficult. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, help tailor session length and focus to practical needs rather than promising a single fixed path.
