    About Tinna

    Tinna Palmer is a Kansas-licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood challenges, and relationship or parenting strain. She brings seven years of professional experience to her work and centers clients' strengths in each session. Tinna emphasizes practical steps and steady encouragement to help people move toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.

    She focuses on things like depression, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with anger, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, social anxiety, and isolation. Communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and self-love are among her additional focus areas.

    Tinna’s approach treats the client as the expert on their own life. She listens without judgment and helps people identify small, manageable changes they can try. Sessions often include goal-setting, skill practice, and reflecting on what works based on each person’s needs.

    Her practice draws on methods such as Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide work on motivation, values, and practical coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy also inform how she structures support and emotional processing.

    Tinna describes the first step as an act of courage. She aims to offer steady encouragement while helping people explore options and try new strategies. People who want a collaborative, strengths-focused approach may find her style helpful.

  2. How her approaches work in online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflections to build motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving daily routines.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to clarify their values and take committed action toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. This can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

    Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center of sessions. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people feel heard while they decide what to try next.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and adjust what they do as progress or new needs appear.

    Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow check-ins from different locations, and make shorter or more frequent meetings easier to arrange. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are available and can pick what fits your schedule and needs.
