About Tia
Tia Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 27 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, grief, mood disorders, addiction concerns, and feelings of guilt and shame. Tia also supports people dealing with career issues, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
She draws on practical therapies that focus on what a person is experiencing now. Sessions involve listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and helping them develop clearer choices and coping skills. Tia uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among others to guide conversations and set small goals.
Tia trained in psychology and social work and holds an MS in Social Work in addition to a BS in Psychology and an MBA with health care management focus. Her background includes work across individual and group settings over nearly three decades, which informs a straightforward clinical style.
People can expect direct conversation about concrete problems - for example managing shame tied to relationships, handling parenting stress, or building strategies for mood management. She pays attention to life circumstances and past experiences when they affect what someone wants to change now.
Her approach is collaborative: she listens, helps name what matters, and works with each person to build coping tools and practical steps. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats when they schedule.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when guilt or shame keeps someone from moving toward what matters most to them.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening-based stance. It aims to clarify a person’s goals and strengthen their own capacity to decide what changes to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful habits that feed anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That collaboration helps shape session focus and short-term steps.
Confirm the current session options before booking. Sessions can be arranged to fit day-to-day life so therapy does not have to be a large disruption. For example, shorter check-ins can work during a break at work, or conversations can be paced over several weeks to fit caregiving responsibilities. Discuss practical scheduling and format details when you complete the matching questionnaire.
