About Tinna
Tinna Palmer is a Kansas-licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and parenting challenges. She brings seven years of clinical experience to support those navigating mood disorders, bipolar concerns, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue. Tinna emphasizes a practical, straightforward approach that centers the client's own strengths and values.
She listens first and asks questions that clarify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on concrete skills and small changes that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Tinna uses tools drawn from several therapy styles to help with emotion regulation, coping skills, and clearer communication. Parents often seek her out for help setting boundaries, managing burnout, and improving family communication. She also supports people dealing with addiction recovery, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem.
Work and career stress, life transitions, and questions about purpose are common topics in her practice. Tinna blends methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a client-centered stance. That means she helps clients notice what gets in the way, try new behaviors, and commit to choices that match their values.
The process is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Her style is warm and encouraging while staying practical. She helps people build everyday habits and problem-solving routines.
The goal is clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better relationships over time.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting and personal work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. It is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching noticing skills and value-driven action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT can help with depression, panic, social anxiety, and building practical routines that improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the process feels collaborative and tailored.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and work well when hands-free or during a break. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when a shorter interaction fits a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into parenting and work schedules.
