About Kiana
Kiana Thomas, LPC, offers straightforward support for people facing anxiety, stress, mood changes, and everyday challenges. She aims to make therapy easy to access and honest. Her approach focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions to feel steadier and make changes that matter.
Kiana holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University and a bachelor’s in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina.
Background and approach
She has five years of clinical experience working in both independent practice and public agencies. That mix gave her exposure to many common life struggles and how they show up day to day. In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people break unhelpful patterns and set clear goals.
She also uses Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches to slow down strong emotions and ground people in the present. Conversations are practical and person-focused rather than theoretical. Kiana helps people manage things like anxiety, depression, phobias, trauma and abuse, relationship or intimacy-related issues, and struggles with sleep or eating.
She also supports those facing career stress, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, ADHD, and attachment questions. Her style is collaborative and paced to the individual. She listens for what’s working, what’s not, and builds small, achievable steps.
Sessions can include problem-solving, skills practice, and reflection to help people move forward on the things they care about.
How Kiana’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, phobias, and sleep or eating issues.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kiana will work with each person to test methods and see what fits their needs and goals. Sessions often mix approaches so people get both emotional support and hands-on tools for everyday life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people touch base between meetings, use brief coaching, or keep therapy flexible around work or family schedules.
