Tiana Burdick

Tiana Burdick, LCSW welcomes people feeling stuck at a crossroads or facing sudden change. She offers a steady presence for those dealing with stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Her plainspoken approach aims to help someone regain momentum and make clearer choices.

She draws on nine years of clinical experience that includes mobile crisis work. That work involved meeting people in intense moments and learning how problems show up in daily life and in relationships. Tiana also has more than three years of experience supporting people on the autism spectrum and identifies as neurodivergent herself. This informs the way she tailors sessions and communicates so sessions feel practical and approachable.

Tiana earned her Master of Social Work degree from Southern Connecticut State University after studying at the University of Connecticut. She holds a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker credential - LCSW. Her clinical toolbox includes client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness practices, and elements of the Gottman method for relationship concerns.

In sessions she focuses on concrete skills, clearer thinking patterns, and strategies to manage strong emotions like anger or impulsivity. She also helps with grief, caregiving stress, and workplace fatigue. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal oriented, with space to process difficult feelings.

People who choose her often want hands-on techniques and flexible ways to try new habits between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How Tiana’s methods translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s priorities at the center of each meeting. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and building specific coping skills for anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotion and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That approach may shift over time as new challenges come up or progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before you book, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy life. It can also allow shorter check-ins, offer options when bandwidth is limited, and reduce commuting time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT skills work to an online setting so clients can practice tools between meetings and track progress across sessions.
