About Tinna
Tinna Palmer is an LSCSW licensed in Kansas with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as bipolar and depression, and challenges like anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach treats the person rather than a label. She listens for strengths and patterns that get in the way. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on noticing how emotions and behaviors link together.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside methods from acceptance and commitment, cognitive behavioral, client-centered, and dialectical behavior approaches. That blend is used to help people name difficult feelings, change unhelpful reactions, and practice new ways of relating to themselves. The therapist encourages people to try small experiments and skills in everyday life.
Tinna also works with concerns around parenting stress, family tensions, career shifts, and the search for meaning or life purpose. She addresses issues like forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and social anxiety with concrete techniques and reflective conversation.
Practical matters are part of sessions. Conversations include setting goals, working on communication patterns, and building coping strategies for hard moments. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name emotions that keep showing up in unhelpful ways. It is often used to look at patterns of feeling and response and to practice new ways of relating to difficult emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without trying to push them away, then committing to values-based actions that matter to the person.The therapist will work with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best. That decision is collaborative and based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences rather than on a single method. Sessions often include trying skills, reviewing how those experiments went, and adjusting the plan together.

Therapists and licensed professionals generally adapt activities like emotion-focused exercises, ACT values work, and CBT skill practice for use in remote sessions so clients can keep applying what they learn between meetings.
