About Teanna
Teanna Diggs is a clinician based in Maryland with eight years of practice as a medical doctor and licensed social worker. She focuses on helping people build confidence, sharpen motivation, and improve day-to-day functioning. Her background includes work with professionals and individuals seeking clearer goals and better follow-through.

Background and approach
Parenting is one of the areas she focuses on, including challenges new parents often face such as postpartum depression and adjusting roles. She also addresses attention and organization struggles, including concerns related to ADHD, and supports people navigating life changes. Therapeutic work with her blends talk and task.
She helps clients notice patterns, try out new behaviors, and track progress between sessions. Communication problems, attachment issues, and feelings of isolation are common topics she helps people sort through. Teanna uses a mix of approaches depending on the person and the problem.
She draws from therapies that emphasize values, emotions, and practical skills to support lasting changes. Her aim is to help people gain tools they can use after therapy ends.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed steps toward them. It helps people who want more meaningful direction and improved coping with difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for problems like low self-esteem, anxiety, or difficulty with focus and organization.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs to decide which methods to prioritize. That plan can change over time as progress is tracked and new challenges arise, so the course of therapy is tailored rather than fixed.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can support brief updates, coaching-style check-ins, or when typing through thoughts feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions around work, childcare, or travel while keeping therapy consistent and practical.
