Tierra Rushing, LCSW

Tierra Rushing, LCSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and life changes. She offers a compassionate, supportive approach and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Tierra aims to help clients notice strengths they already have and build toward clearer goals.

Tierra draws on six years of clinical work with adults and adolescents. Her background includes long-term and brief interventions across different settings. She uses a mix of methods chosen to match each person's needs rather than a single fixed program.

In sessions, she often uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness.

Her training includes a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Central Florida and a Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University through an advanced standing program. Tierra also provides psychoeducation and referral resources when additional supports are needed.

People who work with her can expect a focus on building skills for everyday life. She addresses concerns like family conflict, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, mood disorders, ADHD, body image, dissociation, and grief. Tierra encourages honest self-reflection and collaborative goal setting to help clients move forward.

How Tierra Uses Practical Approaches Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and life experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people choose what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and stress. It offers simple experiments and habit changes to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tierra will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness practices and CBT homework in their everyday environment, making new skills more usable in daily life.
