About Qiana

Qiana Russell is a licensed social worker with more than 16 years of professional experience. She listens without judgment and helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or mood shifts. Many people come to her concerned about parenting challenges, anger, or addictions, and she offers straightforward support to address those issues.

She emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own lives. Sessions focus on what each person wants to change and on building practical skills that can be used between meetings.

Background and approach

That can mean learning new ways to manage strong emotions, practicing clearer communication, or finding small daily habits that improve mood and confidence. Qiana uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness practices to create a plan that fits each person. She also brings solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and trauma-focused methods when past events affect current functioning.

The approach is collaborative and goal-oriented rather than one-size-fits-all. Her background includes licensure as an LISW in Ohio and an LCSW in Georgia, and she has a CSW credential as well. Over the years she has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, intimacy issues, eating struggles, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress.

Qiana conducts sessions in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Online support

How Qiana Uses Talk, Tools, and Mindfulness Online

Qiana combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation centers on each person's goals and strengths, with the therapist reflecting back what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and regulate strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will work with clients to try different techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan. Clients set goals and priorities, and the therapist tailors exercises and homework to match their needs and daily routines.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow full face-to-face interaction for skill work and deeper conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and step-by-step coaching more convenient between sessions. These options give flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional support.
