Tia Savage

Tia Savage is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with fifteen years of experience. She brings a calm, open approach and focuses on practical skill building to help people handle stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes.

Her style centers on problem solving and helping clients find realistic steps forward. She uses straightforward conversations to identify strengths and set small goals. She aims to be relatable and nonjudgmental while encouraging growth and better day-to-day coping.

Tia earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Simmons College in 2006 and became a LICSW in 2008. She also completed a Life Coaching Certificate from the University of New Hampshire in 2016. Those credentials inform her clinical work and her coaching perspectives.

She has substantial experience supporting teens and young adults through key transitions. This includes help with the college search and application process, gaining vocational and job skills, and building social skills for more meaningful relationships. She also supports parents who want tools to help their children learn coping and self-care skills.

In sessions she combines client-centered listening with goal-focused techniques. That mix is used to address depression, self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and career or parenting stress. The aim is practical: find steps that fit daily life and lead to steady progress.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects understanding, and helps people spot their own strengths and options. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, anger, or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple awareness and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with listening and coaching, then adding CBT or mindfulness exercises as needed. Clients and the therapist check in and adjust the plan together.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can make it simpler to have a shorter check-in between commitments or to avoid travel time. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so you know what will work best for your routine.
