Tinna Palmer

Tinna Palmer, LSCSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and substance use concerns. She works with those managing bipolar symptoms and people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, or struggles with self-esteem. Her approach centers on practical steps people can use day to day and on building strengths already present in each person.

She sees the person as the expert in their own life and emphasizes collaboration. Conversations focus on clear goals and small, manageable changes. Tinna uses techniques that help people notice thought patterns, try new behaviors, and practice emotional skills between sessions.

Over seven years of work, she has supported people through family and parenting tensions, career transitions, and life changes that feel overwhelming. She draws on a mix of cognitive and emotion-focused methods to address anxiety, addictions, and relationship pain. Sessions often include skill practice, values clarification, and real-world problem solving.

Her style is direct yet warm. She aims to make sessions feel practical and hopeful rather than overwhelming. People can expect straightforward feedback, tools to try between meetings, and a focus on building self-compassion and clearer communication.

Tinna is licensed in Kansas as an LSCSW, and she conducts work in English. Before starting, readers should confirm current session options when booking so they know which formats are offered.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful when anxiety, depression, or avoidance get in the way of daily life and decision making.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It is a hands-on approach that often includes at-home practice to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Because the original biography did not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a packed week, cut down travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills between meetings in their everyday settings, so tools learned in sessions can be tried out right away.
