Kiana Thomas, LPC

Kiana Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship struggles. She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies so clients can start making small changes right away.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University. Over five years she has worked in both private practice and public agencies, gaining experience with a range of concerns including mood disorders, addictions, ADHD, and grief related to separation or loss.

Kiana often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in sessions. She focuses on clear goals, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, and building steps that fit into a person’s everyday life. She also draws on mindfulness and client-centered methods to slow things down when needed and to keep conversations focused on what the client finds most important.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Kiana aims to create a calm space where people can talk through painful experiences and learn coping tools. She can help with issues around intimacy, body image, parenting stress, anger, and the lasting effects of past abuse.

People who prefer practical steps and a supportive, direct approach may find her style a good fit. Before booking, confirm session options and scheduling so they match current needs.

How Kiana’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and meeting people where they are, helping clients set the pace for their own healing and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on specific goals and practical steps to move toward them quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first and adjust them as goals change. This helps keep sessions relevant to day-to-day challenges and to what matters most to the client.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for consistent check-ins during life transitions. Some approaches, like CBT and solution-focused work, translate well to remote sessions because they emphasize concrete exercises and short-term goals that can be practiced between meetings.
