About Kiana

Kiana Thomas is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and a range of mood and interpersonal concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on five years of clinical experience working in both independent practice and public agency settings, combining practical techniques with a warm, client-centered stance. Kiana 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.

Her work often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy with mindfulness and motivational strategies to help clients identify patterns, set achievable goals, and build coping skills. Kiana pays attention to relational dynamics, attachment-related challenges, and issues like trauma, addictions, and self-esteem, while also addressing concerns such as sleep, eating, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

She offers a collaborative atmosphere where clients can explore their priorities and develop practical steps toward change.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and prioritizing the client's experience, helping people feel heard while they clarify values and goals; this approach supports work on self-esteem, relationship patterns, and life changes by centering the client's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides structured strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to practice alternative responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood regulation. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, achievable steps toward preferred outcomes, making it well suited for goal-oriented work and short-term progress.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the early work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies as progress is made so care feels practical and responsive. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in shaping their treatment plan.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow people to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, making it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or busy periods.
