Tiana Reid , LCMHC

Tiana Reid is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings seven years in her current professional role and a long history working in school counseling and vocational rehabilitation.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and LGBT issues. Additional areas she addresses include communication problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues. Her work centers on respectful, sensitive, and compassionate conversation tailored to each person.

Before her current licensure, she spent 25 years as a high school school counselor. That experience shaped her skills in talking through goals, offering practical supports, and helping people navigate life transitions. Earlier work in vocational rehabilitation added a focus on practical problem solving and career-related concerns.

In sessions she adapts the approach to fit individual needs rather than using a single fixed method. She emphasizes listening first, then shaping a plan together that feels doable. Tiana encourages small, concrete steps that build toward larger change.

She offers sessions in English and provides care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to availability, using a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Briefly described, cognitive-behavioral techniques help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can ease symptoms of anxiety and stress. A second common approach focuses on trauma-informed care, which pays attention to safety, pacing, and grounding skills to manage reactions after difficult experiences. These methods are practical and skill-oriented, useful for relationship concerns, social anxiety, and issues related to self-worth.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests techniques to try together. The plan can be adjusted over time based on how well the methods fit and how you respond to them.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work when bandwidth or comfort on camera is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief updates, or times when typing is easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines and to stay consistent with sessions.
