Tianna Burroughs (she/her), LCSW

Tianna Burroughs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with eight years of clinical experience. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies and a Master of Social Work from Indiana University in 2009. Her training and career have taken her into home-based settings, schools, youth shelters, residential programs, and inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, where she has supported people across the lifespan through a wide range of concerns.

Tianna has worked with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, divorce, parenting struggles, and crisis stabilization. Growing up in an under-resourced area of northern Indiana gave her firsthand insight into many of these difficulties and informs her empathetic, grounded approach. She draws on strength-based and solution-focused perspectives to help clients identify and build the skills they already possess.

Her therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental while remaining honest and direct. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to explore how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors, and she incorporates mindfulness and breathing practices to support emotional regulation. Tianna values client feedback and encourages people to speak up if a particular approach is not working for them.

After taking several years off to care for her twins and raise her teenage niece, Tianna has lived in Indiana, Texas, and Tennessee while supporting her husband, who also works in mental health. In her free time she enjoys outdoor adventures, yoga, and interior design.

Approaches and online care for meaningful change

Tianna integrates therapies that focus on thoughts, relationships, and values to help clients navigate stress, trauma, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify how thinking patterns influence feelings and actions and supports practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in relationships and emotional responses, which can be especially helpful for those facing family conflicts, attachment issues, or parenting concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes accepting difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and taking committed action, a useful framework for coping with change, stress, and persistent worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Licensed professionals and therapists, including Tianna, collaborate with clients to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and they adjust strategies over time based on feedback and progress.

Online therapy offers practical benefits: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make scheduling easier and extend access across distances. These options allow clients to engage from home, manage therapy around busy lives, and maintain continuity when circumstances change, while still working with a trained, licensed professional.
