About Tyania
Tyania McConnell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience practicing psychotherapy in Georgia and Michigan. She holds the LCSW credential and also lists CSW and LMSW. Tyania focuses on common life struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, relationships, and career questions. She also addresses trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.
In sessions she centers the person's perspective and helps them clarify what matters next. Conversations tend to be practical and focused. Tyania listens for strengths clients already have and helps make steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Her background includes work with issues connected to family of origin, blended family situations, adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, aging and geriatric concerns, chronic illness and pain, and cancer-related challenges. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, control issues, commitment worries, and the effects of disasters or first responder stress.
Tyania uses several clinical approaches to guide sessions. She draws on client-centered work to keep the focus on a person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot patterns that keep problems going and to try different actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), existential ideas, and mindfulness practices appear as tools when they fit the client's needs.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She helps people set small, achievable steps and checks in on what works. People curious about coaching for life direction or wanting to address grief, career shifts, or relationship strain will find concrete support for getting unstuck.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Client-centered work focuses on the person's own goals and experience. It involves listening closely and helping the client choose what to work on next, which is useful for people feeling stuck or unclear about priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps with anxiety, depression, and practical problems by identifying unhelpful patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful when strong reactions, relationship conflicts, or difficulty tolerating stress get in the way of daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods together rather than imposing a single technique. That collaborative planning helps match techniques to the client's situation.
Because the exact session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the available online options before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals generally use a mix of conversational work, skill practice, and short assignments between meetings to keep progress moving in everyday life.
