About Tinna
Tinna Palmer, LSCSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, and family or parenting challenges. She centers conversations on what matters to each person and uses their strengths to guide change. Her approach aims to make daily life more manageable and meaningful for people who are feeling stuck.
With seven years of professional experience in Kansas, she offers straightforward support for issues such as bipolar disorder, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also works with concerns around self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and social anxiety. Tinna frames work as a partnership, asking what the client wants to be different and helping them take practical steps toward that goal.
Her practice draws from several therapy approaches to fit different needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take values-based action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-Centered methods keep the conversation grounded in empathy and the client’s own priorities.
People can expect calm, respectful sessions where real-life problems are named and addressed. Tinna aims to support parents and individuals dealing with family stress or parenting strain without assuming one single path to change. The work is paced to match each person’s readiness and goals.
She encourages anyone considering therapy to reflect on what they want to improve and to start with a brief matching process to find the right fit.
How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, motivation, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and uses empathy and listening to build understanding and trust, which supports people working through family and parenting concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to use. Adjustments are made over time so the work aligns with what the person needs.
