Tierra Rushing

Tierra Rushing is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and difficult life changes. She creates a compassionate, supportive space where clients can talk through obstacles and build practical skills. Tierra emphasizes each person’s strengths and autonomy while offering guidance toward clearer goals.

She draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. In sessions she mixes tools to match what each person needs, using hands-on strategies alongside reflective conversation. The focus is on small, usable steps that lead to better day-to-day functioning.

Tierra earned a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Central Florida in 2014 and a Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University in 2015 through the Advanced Standing Program. Over six years she has worked in different settings and with varied concerns, gaining experience with both short-term and longer-term supports.

Her experience includes helping adults and adolescents navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, parenting stress, and related issues. Tierra offers psychoeducation and practical referrals when additional resources can help the plan she and a client develop together.

She approaches sessions as a collaborative effort. Clients set goals, and Tierra helps identify skills and steps to reach them. The aim is to restore a sense of forward motion and build healthier ways of relating to oneself and others.

How approaches like CBT and mindfulness work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s goals. The therapist offers support and reflects what matters most to the client so they can make choices and grow. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can help with anger, anxiety, and mood problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tierra will collaborate with each person to figure out which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can include skill practice, guided reflection, and short exercises chosen together to make steady progress.

Confirm current session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, or parenting by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a break. It also lets people use tools learned in-session immediately in their daily routines, for example practicing a breathing exercise between meetings or applying a CBT technique after a tense interaction.
