Kiana Thomas , LPC

Kiana Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She works with individuals facing trauma, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and concerns around self-esteem and intimacy. She also supports people navigating parenting pressures, career shifts, ADHD, mood disorders, and issues related to identity and LGBT concerns.

She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Kiana draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to create steps clients can try between meetings. Conversations focus on specific problems and on building skills that fit each person's life.

Kiana trained at the University of South Carolina and completed a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University. Over five years she has worked in both private practice and public agencies. That mix gives her experience with short-term goal work and longer-term challenges.

In a typical session she listens closely, asks questions to clarify patterns, and helps clients set manageable goals. She encourages simple, achievable changes that reduce distress and improve daily routines. Motivational interviewing is used when clients want support changing habits or coping with addictions.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Clients who want straightforward tools for mood, trauma recovery, relationship concerns, or life transitions may find her practical style helpful. Kiana continues to refine her skills while focusing on client goals and real-life results.

How Kiana Uses Talk and Tools Online

Online sessions often combine problem-focused work and skills practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals to move situations forward more quickly.

The therapist treats the choice of approach as a joint decision. She will listen to your concerns, ask about your goals, and suggest techniques that match your needs and preferences. Together you can try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time so the work fits your life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when it's easier to speak without video. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, or tracking progress between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
