About Kiana
Kiana Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with five years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and related struggles including ADHD and substance issues.
Kiana trained in experimental psychology and earned a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She has experience in both private practice and public agencies. In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps people can use right away to feel less overwhelmed.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and build on what is already working. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are part of her toolbox when helpful.
In a typical meeting, Kiana listens to what is most pressing and helps set small, doable goals. She talks through coping strategies for anxiety, sleep, cravings, and relationship stress. Sessions emphasize skills practice and real-life problem solving rather than long explanations.
Clients often work on specific issues like managing panic in social situations, improving sleep, handling anger, or rebuilding after separation. She also addresses body image, codependency, and attachment concerns through practical steps. Kiana encourages steady progress over time and checks in about how tools are working.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful working relationship, which helps people feel understood while they set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors, which often involves homework like thought records and practice exercises to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as work proceeds. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and changing course if something isn’t helping.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Therapists can guide practical skill practice, review homework, and use mindfulness or motivational techniques in virtual meetings to support steady progress.
