About Tiana
Tiana Burdick, LCSW, helps people who feel stuck at a crossroads in life. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps to manage stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. Her approach is down-to-earth and aimed at people who need clear tools for day-to-day life.
She spent years doing mobile crisis work in Connecticut, supporting people during sudden changes and high-stress moments. That work gave her clear experience observing how relationships and routines shift under pressure.
Background and approach
She also has more than three years of experience supporting people on the autism spectrum and identifies as neurodivergent herself. Tiana uses methods that focus on the person in front of her. She draws on client-centered techniques to follow each person’s lead and make therapy feel relevant.
She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to break problems into steps and dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotion regulation skills. Parents often come seeking straightforward help with behavior, routines, or feeling overwhelmed. Tiana talks through practical options, helps set manageable goals, and teaches coping skills that can be used at home.
She aims for sessions that leave people with something tangible to try between meetings. Her license is LCSW, and she practices in Connecticut. Sessions are offered through several online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule.
If someone needs help sorting a change, coping with loss, or managing daily stress, she can help them plan a clear path forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting and life changes
Client-centered work focuses on the person rather than a fixed plan. It means the therapist listens first and follows the client’s priorities, which helps when parenting issues or life transitions feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It breaks concerns into smaller steps and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress at home.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It gives clear tools for handling intense feelings, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive responses.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to use and how fast to move.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy parents and adults. Video calls let people use visual cues when that helps, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing encouragement between meetings. These options make it easier to fit skill practice and problem-solving into a weekly routine.
