About Kiana
Kiana Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and relationship or family difficulties.
She holds 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 background includes time in private practice and public agencies, giving her exposure to different care settings and client needs.
Kiana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify patterns that keep problems going and set concrete goals for change. She also draws on Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches to support present-moment awareness and clearer decision making.
Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Kiana helps people talk through current stressors, make practical changes, and try small experiments between sessions. She encourages clear steps and regular check-ins rather than long theoretical talks.
Her work includes a range of concerns such as parenting-related stress, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, mood disorders, and issues around attachment and abandonment. People looking for straightforward, skills-focused sessions that connect daily life to therapeutic goals may find her approach fits their needs.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Kiana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. CBT helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which can be used for anxiety, depression, or mood regulation. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small, achievable goals and on what is already working, making it useful for people wanting quick, practical changes.She also incorporates Client-Centered and Mindfulness elements when helpful. Client-Centered work means listening closely and shaping sessions around each person's concerns. Mindfulness exercises help with attention, stress management, and noticing patterns in daily life. Deciding which mix to use is collaborative - the therapist and client figure out what fits the goals and preferences together.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, allow a quieter check-in during a work break, or avoid needing to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and pace to suit how clients prefer to work and to the constraints of everyday life.
