Tiana Burdick, LCSW

Tiana Burdick, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings a practical, compassionate approach to therapy from her base in Connecticut. She has extensive experience in mobile crisis response with both children and adults, work that deepened her understanding of family dynamics and how people adapt when faced with major change or acute stress. Her academic training included studies at the University of Connecticut and Southern Connecticut State University, where she earned a Master of Social Work. This combination of field experience and graduate education informs a grounded style that focuses on real-world coping and resilience.

In addition to crisis work, she has more than three years of experience supporting individuals on the Autism spectrum and identifies as a neurodivergent clinician. She specializes in creative, tailored work with other neurodivergent people and offers a niche approach that respects different ways of thinking and communicating. Her clinical focus spans stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and issues around identity and intimacy.

Those feeling stuck at a crossroads or facing difficult transitions can expect collaborative care aimed at practical change. Tiana seeks to help people navigate crisis points, adjust to life changes, and build skills that support healthier functioning across relationships, work, and daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Tiana Burdick

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and helps individuals explore their values and goals. This approach is useful for people facing life transitions, identity questions, and relational concerns because it centers the person's own experience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is a practical, skills-based method often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress by teaching strategies to reframe thoughts and build new habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can help those who struggle with intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship challenges learn concrete tools to manage reactions and improve communication.

Determining the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Tiana will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailor techniques from these approaches to create a treatment plan that fits the individual.

Online therapy with a licensed professional provides flexibility and access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments, and to continue care during life changes or when in-person visits are not feasible.
