About Tia
Tia Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and addiction. She offers calm, steady support for mood disorders, bipolar concerns, and the painful effects of trauma and abuse. Tia aims to boost self-esteem and help people find workable coping skills during life changes.
Her approach favors listening closely and using each person's own history as a starting point for change. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to encourage change that feels doable, and uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts, clarify values, and take small steps forward. Client-Centered Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy also shape sessions to keep practical goals in view.
Tia trained in psychology and social work and holds a Master of Science in Social Work. She also earned a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in health care management. Her clinical title is LCSW in Tennessee, and she has decades of practice in varied settings.
Sessions focus on real problems and clear next steps. Tia listens with empathy and asks questions that help people see options. She works to make therapy feel understandable and useful, rather than complicated.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversations, help sorting priorities, and tools to manage impulses, communication problems, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and career or midlife transitions.

Approaches to Change and Online Therapy
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to talk about change. It helps people resolve mixed feelings and find their own reasons to try new steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, depression, and finding direction during life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore concerns at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and will help decide which methods to try first. That decision is made together and can shift as needs change over time.
Please confirm available online session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people join from quieter surroundings or choose audio-only meetings when video is difficult. A licensed professional will discuss which format best fits the practical needs of each person. -
