Kiana Thomas, LPC

Kiana Thomas, LPC, offers straightforward, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and related concerns. She focuses on thoughts and everyday habits to help clients notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Her tone is direct and calm, aiming to make therapy feel manageable for someone juggling family and life demands.

Thomas holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University and a bachelor’s in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina. She has five years of experience in both private practice and public agencies. That mix gives her familiarity with short-term goal work and longer conversations when they are needed.

Her in-room work leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable steps. She also uses Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches to help people slow down, notice thoughts, and make choices that reflect their values. Motivational Interviewing shows up when someone wants to find the motivation to change habits.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. Thomas helps people set goals, try small behavioral experiments, and track what works. She pays attention to relationship dynamics, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and patterns like codependency or impulsivity.

People can expect plain language, focused homework when useful, and a steady focus on improving daily routines and thinking patterns. The aim is clearer decision making and more manageable days rather than quick fixes.

How Kiana Uses Talk and Practice Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's goals. It means the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and daily habits and turns those observations into small, practical experiments to change mood and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to decide whether CBT, solution-focused steps, or a gentler client-centered stance fits best. Goal setting and adjusting the plan happen together, based on needs and what feels doable.

Confirm the session formats before booking to know what is offered for online work. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full visit isn't needed. It can also make it simpler to try skills between sessions in real life and bring those experiences back to therapy for discussion.
