Kiana Thomas, LPC

Kiana Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or issues like jealousy and attachment worries. Her approach is straightforward and practical, with a focus on small steps that add up to real change.

Kiana studied experimental psychology at the University of South Carolina and completed a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at South University. She has about five years of experience working in both independent practice and public agencies. That mix of settings informs how she structures sessions and sets achievable goals.

In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and elements of mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That means conversations focus on patterns of thought and behavior, clear goals, and skills people can use between meetings. She keeps things collaborative and concrete so clients leave with tools rather than just ideas.

People come to her for help with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, ADHD, mood disorders, and feelings of emptiness or shame. She also addresses issues tied to career stress and compassion fatigue.

Kiana aims to make the work feel manageable. Sessions emphasize practical coping skills, clearer thinking, and gradual progress. Anyone interested in starting is invited to learn more and see whether her style fits their needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting clients without judgment so they can find their own answers; this approach helps people feeling stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy zooms in on small, realistic goals and on what is already working, which can be useful when someone needs quick, practical changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, daily routine, and preferences. That means goals and techniques may shift as sessions progress so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit help into a busy life - sessions may be scheduled at times that work around work or caregiving, and some formats reduce the need for travel or long waits. It also lets conversations focus on real-world problems and concrete steps clients can try between meetings, helping skills transfer directly into daily routines.
