Tyania McConnell, LCSW, CSW, LMSW

Tyania McConnell is a licensed clinical social worker with over ten years of experience in psychotherapy. She emphasizes each person’s strengths and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. Tyania supports people taking the first brave steps toward change and stays alongside them as they work toward clearer goals and greater well-being.

She holds LCSW, CSW, and LMSW credentials and is licensed to practice in Georgia and Michigan. Her work often focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and the effects of grief and loss. She also helps people manage career concerns, relationship strain, and the practical fallout from trauma and abuse.

Tyania draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what a person needs. She uses client-centered work to build trust and prioritize the client’s goals. She applies cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts and behavioral patterns. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness tools are offered for emotional regulation and crisis coping.

She pays attention to life-context issues such as adoption and foster care challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and the stresses faced by first responders. Tyania also addresses blended family dynamics, aging and geriatric concerns, and communication and commitment issues.

Sessions are conversational and practical. The therapist helps people set clear steps they can try between meetings and adjusts the pace to fit their needs.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead, clarifies concerns, and helps set goals that matter to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping during high-stress moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are expected as progress unfolds.

Confirm the exact session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a work break, and not needing to travel can save time. Many people find that learning CBT and DBT skills remotely still lets them practice techniques between sessions and build lasting habits.
