Tiana Burdick , LCSW

Tiana Burdick, LCSW, offers direct, practical support for people feeling stuck or facing big changes. She writes simply and listens closely to help clients name what feels overwhelming and to plan clear next steps.

She brings nine years of clinical experience and a background in mobile crisis work across Connecticut. That work exposed her to how people respond during sudden change and to common patterns in family dynamics. She also has over three years of experience supporting people on the autism spectrum and identifies as neurodivergent herself.

In sessions she focuses on what is happening now and what can be done next. She uses client-centered conversation to follow each person’s priorities and combines practical tools from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to manage stress and anxiety. Dialectical skills are used when stronger emotion regulation tools are helpful.

Tiana often supports people dealing with trauma, grief, mood concerns such as depression or bipolar symptoms, and issues around intimacy and relationships. She also addresses workplace stress, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and eating or self-esteem struggles.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. People can expect a mix of listening, skill-building, and problem-solving that fits daily life. Tiana practices in Connecticut and offers sessions by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's goals and pacing; the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person seeking help. It is useful when someone wants an empathetic space to sort out decisions and next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, moods, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to try small behavioral experiments that can reduce anxiety or depression symptoms.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers practical emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Those tools are helpful when someone struggles with intense emotions or impulsive reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust strategies based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy here is offered by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, flexible contact between sessions.
