About Tia

Tia Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 27 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, and addiction-related matters. Her background also includes family-related issues such as adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and divorce and separation.

Tia aims to give clear, practical help rather than labels. She listens and uses what people already know about their lives to guide sessions. That can mean building new coping skills, looking at communication patterns, or helping someone shift a behavior that keeps causing pain.

Her approach draws on established methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions often include focused conversation, goal-setting, and straightforward strategies to test between meetings. Expect short, doable actions to try between sessions and time to talk through what happened.

Tia trained in psychology and social work and also holds a Master of Business Administration with a focus on health care management. She has worked across settings with individuals and groups, bringing practical experience from nearly three decades in the field. Her practice emphasizes clear communication and steady, step-by-step work.

People typically come to her when life feels overloaded at home or work. She helps adults who are juggling parenting responsibilities, relationship tension, career stress, grieving losses, or the disruption that major life changes can cause.

How sessions work

How her approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful when someone wants to stop letting worry or painful memories drive their choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep causing distress. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust those methods as work proceeds, so the plan stays useful and realistic.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people value online sessions because they can fit conversations into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it easier to test coping strategies between sessions and to bring real-life examples from home into discussion, helping progress stay connected to everyday demands.
