About Kiana
Kiana Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with five years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and other life challenges. Kiana also lists codependency, attachment and intimacy-related issues among her focus areas.
She 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 background includes roles in private practice and public agencies, which shaped how she approaches practical concerns in everyday life.
Kiana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people set clear goals and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches to slow things down and notice what matters in the moment.
Sessions are straightforward and action oriented. She helps people identify small steps that reduce overwhelm and build clearer boundaries with others. Conversations focus on realistic change rather than quick fixes.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, repeated relationship patterns, or stress from caregiving often find her style practical. She encourages reflection, tries out new strategies in session, and adjusts the plan as needed.
For someone juggling work, family, or recovery, Kiana aims to make therapy fit real life. Prospective clients are asked to use the site controls to view online therapy options and schedule an initial meeting.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Sessions aim to clarify values and choices so people can notice patterns and make different moves in relationships or at work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to build new habits that reduce anxiety or low mood.
Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to workable steps and immediate goals. It is useful when someone wants clear next actions for setting boundaries or managing upsetting situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may combine techniques and adapt over time as progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Ask which online options are offered and how they fit your schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so appointments feel more manageable.
