About Qiana

Qiana Russell is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. She supports people facing anger, motivation blocks, parenting concerns, addictions, and trauma-related problems. She speaks English and works from Georgia with 16 years of professional experience, drawing on practical methods that aim to make therapy feel useful from the start.

Qiana uses straightforward, goal-focused work in sessions. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Her style blends talk-based reflection with hands-on strategies people can use between appointments.

Her clinical approach includes client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused interventions. She leans on these approaches to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and reduce distress in day-to-day life.

Qiana earned clinical social work credentials and holds LISW, LCSW, and CSW designations. She draws on more than a decade and a half of practice to support people making change. Many who seek her help are looking for clear tools to manage mood, relationship tension, grief, or addictive behaviors.

When someone starts therapy with Qiana they can expect a collaborative process. Early sessions focus on what matters most now and on small, practical steps to try between meetings. Over time the work shifts to sustaining changes and building self-compassion.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and decide on goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and coping with cravings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to match approaches to goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it simpler to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. For many people the same CBT exercises, mindful practices, and client-centered conversations translate well to remote work, letting therapeutic skills be practiced in day-to-day life.
