About Tiffany

Tiffany Pangarakis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with five years of professional experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, and major life changes. Tiffany also supports people facing compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem difficulties, career questions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that fit day-to-day life. Tiffany encourages clients to talk through what matters most and to try approaches that can be used between sessions.

She also addresses a wide range of related concerns, including abandonment, attachment issues, blended family stress, caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, and challenges after divorce or separation. Tiffany works with people affected by domestic violence and those managing the impact of cancer or aging on family roles.

In the room she listens for patterns that make problems worse and helps people practice different responses. She offers tools for managing overwhelming emotions and for making decisions when life feels uncertain.

Tiffany asks clients to set small, manageable goals at the start of work together. Progress is discussed regularly so plans can be adjusted. To begin, she guides people through a short intake to identify priorities and schedule the first session.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Many practitioners who use evidence-based techniques draw from cognitive-behavioral methods to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT-style work is practical - it focuses on specific problems like anxiety, low mood, and coping with change by practicing small experiments and new skills.

Another common approach is skills-based emotion work, which teaches ways to manage strong feelings and reduce reactivity. This kind of method helps with anger, grief, and stress by offering grounding strategies and step-by-step emotion regulation tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that fit their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful in everyday life.

Confirm the session formats before booking since this profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins that match work breaks or caregiving hours. It also lets people continue care after a major life change without having to travel. When you sign up, you will complete a short questionnaire and then schedule the first meeting with a licensed professional.
