About Tia

Tia Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, grief, relationship strains, and other life changes. Her style aims to boost self-esteem, build coping skills, and offer new perspectives when things feel overwhelming.

She listens closely and centers each conversation on the person's lived experience. Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes that add up over time. Tia draws from a mix of therapy methods to match what a person needs in the moment.

Tia completed a Master of Science in Social Work (MSSW) at the University of Tennessee and holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Southern University. She also earned a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in health care management from the University of Phoenix. Her credentials are LCSW.

Across her career she has worked in individual, group, and family settings. That variety informs a straightforward, flexible approach now. Clients can expect respectful listening, clear goals, and collaborative problem solving.

Her background includes decades working with children, youth, and adults through difficult transitions and mental health challenges. That experience shapes how she helps people cope, make decisions, and find ways to move forward when life shifts unexpectedly.

How Tia’s approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes by focusing on meaningful action rather than only reducing symptoms.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathic listening to help them make sense of their situation. This approach is useful when someone needs support, validation, and a nonjudgmental space to talk through decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and practical problem solving during major life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as needed.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep continuity of care when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client decide together how to schedule sessions to suit daily routines.
