About Tyania
Tyania McConnell is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) licensed in Colorado and an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) in Michigan with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, career questions, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Tyania also lists coaching and compassion fatigue among her areas of work.
She uses straightforward conversations to identify patterns that cause stress. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and everyday habits that get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach when practical changes and clearer thinking are useful. She also draws on client-centered methods and mindfulness to help people notice what matters most in the moment.
Tyania prefers practical steps people can try between sessions. That can include short experiments, new routines, or simple communication practices. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and existential ideas appear when emotion regulation and values clarity are priorities. Motivational Interviewing can be used to help with change when someone feels stuck.
She has worked with issues linked to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, blended family questions, chronic illness and pain, caregiver burden, cancer, domestic violence, first responder stress, and family-of-origin problems. These topics often come alongside anxiety, depression, or life transitions.
Tyania conducts sessions in English and does not accept international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule an initial visit.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Tyania commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on practical steps and short experiments that can be practiced between meetings to reduce anxiety or lift mood.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person’s priorities and what feels most important to address. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be introduced when stronger emotion regulation strategies are needed, such as ground rules for distress tolerance or step-by-step breathing and grounding practices.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to match techniques to goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying CBT tools for a while, then adding mindfulness or DBT skills based on how things are going.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic, and reduce travel time. Discussing which session rhythm and tools will work best is part of the first meetings.
