About Tyania

Tyania McConnell brings ten years of clinical experience to her work as a licensed clinical social worker. She values each person’s strengths and believes clients are the experts on their own lives. Tyania offers calm, practical guidance for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.

She is licensed in Georgia as an LCSW and holds CSW and LMSW credentials reflecting a long path in social work. Over a decade she has supported people dealing with relationship questions, career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and trauma and abuse. Her background also includes work related to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and first responder issues.

In session she uses clear, down-to-earth language. Tyania draws on client-centered work to listen closely and follow what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking, and dialectical behavior elements to build emotion regulation skills.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that mixes practical tools with reflective conversation. Tyania aims to help people set small, achievable goals and notice progress along the way. Her practice emphasizes steady support for coping with change, including challenges after a natural or human-caused disaster.

She practices in Georgia and works in English. To begin, a simple intake process matches needs and schedules so people can find a good fit and start setting realistic goals.

Approaches that guide online conversations

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to each person. It relies on empathic listening and reflective conversation to help someone clarify goals and feel understood.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build routines that reduce anxiety and depression.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, includes skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These tools can be useful for people who want concrete strategies to steady mood and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions, using worksheets, guided practices, and structured goal setting to keep work moving forward.
