About Tiaira
Tiaira Willis- Haynes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who uses a practical, collaborative approach to therapy. She draws on Motivational Interviewing alongside cognitive and solution-focused methods to help people move toward clearer goals. Sessions focus on small, doable changes and on building skills that make daily life easier.
She favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. That approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful behavior patterns. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy when people need concrete tools and quicker shifts in how they handle problems.
Tiaira has six years of clinical experience working with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflict, parenting strain, anger, trauma, substance use, and life transitions. She helps clients address communication and control issues, grief from divorce or separation, and challenges like guilt, shame, and low self-esteem. Practical coping skills and clearer decision-making are common goals in her work.
Her style is warm and direct. She listens, asks questions to clarify what matters, and helps clients set realistic steps forward. She also incorporates Motivational Interviewing techniques to support people who feel stuck or uncertain about change.
If someone is ready to begin, she encourages taking a small first step and scheduling a session. The initial contact starts with a short questionnaire and then scheduling according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches work for online therapy
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people explore their own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and reduce resistance, which can help with addiction, ambivalence, or stuckness.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then testing and changing them with practical exercises. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and obsessive thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they will decide whether Motivational Interviewing, CBT, solution-focused ideas, or a mix fits best for the current issues.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on what someone needs. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in an online setting, helping clients practice skills between appointments. -
