Kiana Thomas

Kiana Thomas, LPC, focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, or relationship strain. She writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Her approach is down-to-earth and goal minded, aimed at small, practical steps that make daily life easier.

Kiana earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University after completing a bachelor’s degree in Experimental Psychology at the University of South Carolina. She has five years of clinical experience working in both private practice and public agencies. That mix gives her familiarity with a range of life situations and systems that affect wellbeing.

In sessions she often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set reachable goals and track progress. Those methods are complemented by Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches that center the person’s own concerns and strengths.

Kiana helps people who face depression, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and mood disorders. She also supports people with intimacy-related issues, body image and eating concerns, parenting stress, and challenges related to ADHD and narcissism. She describes therapy as collaborative work where small changes build toward better coping.

If someone wants to begin, they choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is arranged according to the therapist’s availability, and session fees vary by location and the subscription plan used.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and following their lead. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people identify their own next steps, which can be useful for issues like relationship strain and self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away by them. That can be helpful for managing intense emotions and building more steady attention day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and can mix approaches to match what’s helping most.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. Therapists can also adjust pace and homework to suit someone’s daily routine, helping therapy feel manageable alongside other responsibilities.
