About Tzia
Tzia Hibler is an Illinois licensed clinical social worker who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out. She works with worries like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Tzia uses straightforward language and a respectful tone to help people take small steps toward change.
She treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, clarifying goals, and finding practical ways to move forward. Tzia draws on Motivational Interviewing to encourage motivation for change and on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in what matters to the client.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when helpful to notice patterns, test small behavior changes, and reduce unhelpful thinking. She also attends to concerns around parenting, intimacy, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and multicultural or intellectual disability issues when they come up.
Tzia brings five years of professional experience to her practice and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. She encourages people who feel nervous about starting therapy and offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for practical problem solving and emotional relief.
To begin, she asks people to consider what they want to change and what would feel different after a few sessions. From there she collaborates on a plan that fits the person's goals and daily life.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person's own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to help someone find motivation and decide what steps to try next. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, offering empathic listening and support so the person can shape goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and practice small, testable changes to feel and function better.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then collaborate on which approaches to use. That process is shared and flexible, so plans can change as progress is made or needs shift.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people meet from a quieter place, or choose not to use video when that feels better. The therapist will help match session rhythm and format to what works best for the person's schedule and goals. -
