About Na-Amau
Na-Amau Tahiru is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three years of clinical experience based in Georgia. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, anger, career questions, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She speaks English, Hausa, and Twi and accepts international clients.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). In sessions she focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, testing small behavior changes, and building practical skills for daily life. Conversations are focused and concrete, with steps to try between meetings.
Tahiru encourages clients to identify their strengths and past successes. She helps people break down big problems into manageable tasks. Sessions often include exercises to shift thinking and practice different responses to stress and conflict.
Her background includes social work practice across settings that address trauma, family problems, and caregiver stress. The approaches she uses aim to reduce overwhelming reactions and increase the ability to cope with change and loss. She draws on structured techniques from CBT and ACT while keeping the client's priorities central.
People who contact her should expect straightforward goal-setting and hands-on strategies. She asks about current challenges, what has helped before, and what small steps a person is willing to try. The goal is clearer thinking and more useful habits rather than quick fixes.
How CBT and ACT are used in online sessions
Na-Amau Tahiru uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes in daily life. CBT sessions tend to be structured and goal-oriented, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related problems.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult emotions and commit to values-driven actions. ACT focuses on accepting uncomfortable feelings while taking steps that align with what matters most to the individual.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will review a client's needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Decisions about which techniques to use are revisited as progress is made.
