About Tierra
Tierra Rushing helps people who feel stuck by focusing on clear, usable steps. She creates a calm, compassionate space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain.

Her approach blends short-term skills with deeper reflection. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
How Tierra works
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when clients want ways to manage tension or find direction. Tierra earned a Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University after a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Central Florida. She has six years of clinical experience in a range of settings and with diverse presenting concerns.
That background includes both longer-term and brief interventions, plus group and individual work. In sessions she offers practical exercises, straightforward feedback, and resources when needed. She can teach skills for coping with panic, mood changes, grief, and career uncertainty.
She also helps people address family conflict and parenting strain by focusing on communication and problem-solving. People who choose Tierra can expect collaborative planning and concrete homework between meetings. She frames goals around real life - small changes that add up.

Online support options
How Tierra’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy means sessions are guided by what matters most to the client. The therapist listens closely and helps set goals that fit the client’s life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Tierra works with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in about what is helping and what needs to change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, caregiving, and other commitments while still getting consistent support from a licensed professional.
