Tiana Reid, LCMHC

Tiana Reid is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina with seven years in her current professional role. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, work through relationship concerns, and address trauma and abuse. She also supports clients facing LGBT issues and women’s concerns. Tiana keeps language direct and caring, so conversations are clear and practical.

Before her current license she spent 25 years as a high school school counselor, bringing extensive experience with adolescents and educational settings. Earlier in her career she worked in vocational rehabilitation, where she supported people with job-related transitions and goal setting.

In sessions she adapts the conversation and plan to each person’s needs. She emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate communication. The therapist works with issues like communication problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and goal setting.

Tiana encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy and acknowledges that taking the first step takes courage. She helps set practical goals and uses straightforward strategies so progress feels manageable.

Her background in school counseling means she understands pressures young people and caregivers face in educational contexts, though current work is provided under her North Carolina LCMHC license. Conversations are aimed at creating realistic next steps and clearer daily routines.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Tiana emphasizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and goals. One common approach involves skill-building for anxiety and stress management, teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step coping strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another helpful method centers on trauma-informed conversation that respects pacing and safety while addressing traumatic memories and their effects on current behavior and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, listen to your preferences, and adjust methods based on your goals and what feels most helpful. Together you will try techniques and decide which to keep practicing between sessions.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking so they meet your needs. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and use short check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow flexible scheduling for appointments outside typical work hours. Ask about specific session options during the matching process so you can plan what will work best for your life.
