Tierra is always supportive and a really good listener! She is really helpful in developing coping strategies, specifically for anxiety. Some of our conversations that really stick are what I find myself going back to when I’m anxious. I highly recommend Tierra!

I believe that change happens when people are given the proper guidance and tools needed to pursue their goals while also giving them the autonomy to pull on their own strengths and qualities that will get them to the finish line. I provide clients with a space full of compassion and support to help them overcome obstacles and move forward in life. My therapeutic experience mostly consists of services provided to adult and adolescent clients struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, and stress related issues. I tailor various therapeutic modalities such as, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology and Motivational Interviewing according to the client’s individual needs and wants. I believe that everyone is entitled to pursue and live a fulfilling and happy life.
I graduated from the University of Central Florida with my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work in 2014 and soon after graduated from Florida Atlantic University with my Master’s in Social work in 2015 through the Advanced Standing Program. I have gained years of experience in a variety of settings and with diverse clients, including long term and brief interventions. Areas of concentration include:
• Adults, children and adolescents with behavioral issues
• Anxiety, depression and other various DSM V diagnosis
• Life stresses and next steps
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy interventions and techniques provided via individual, group, or family sessions
• Psychoeducation and referral resources to aide client and family experiencing need.
I believe that a large part of wellness is having healthy, meaningful relationships, not just with others, but with ourselves. Change happens when we are honest with ourselves about what is missing in our lives, and what we need from ourselves and others. I am willing to work together building skills that will help you move forward in life.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very kind, understanding and helpful. Insightful and a great listener. Really helped me and I wish I could continue seeing her
Tierra is so understanding, supportive, and professional. I have been able to work through many problems I have had with her...It's truly been an incredible experience.
Tierra has been really helpful in helping me process my thoughts and learning coping strategies to stop the thought spiral before they begin or notice it and find another way to direct my thoughts. She reminds me that my feelings are valid and helps me to set boundaries and find what is the best for myself, when I spend a lot of time worrying about others. I really recommend her! She has made my BetterHelp experience very impactful.
She provided tools to help me after our first session.
Tierra is very helpful I enjoy filling out worksheets to help better understand things about myself and she seems to have a worksheet for exactly wamhat I need. She is very easy to talk to as well which helps a lot.

Tierra is great! :)
Tierra is just what the doctor ordered. Understanding, approachable, listens carefully, and makes one feel safe and comfortable to share without the fear of being judged. She has great advice and guidance on what one should try, and I’m getting clarity that I need.
Very supportive and friendly! Lots of good input and makes me feel heard.
