About Tinna
Tinna Palmer is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) licensed in Kansas with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, and life purpose concerns. She also supports people managing family and parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and career uncertainty.
Palmer centers her practice on the client’s own knowledge of their life. She treats clients as the expert in their story and highlights strengths they can use to face hard situations. In sessions she listens and asks practical questions to help clarify what matters next.
Her approach blends evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix helps with shifting unhelpful thoughts, building skills to manage mood and cravings, and defining values that guide decisions about work and relationships.
She offers straightforward work on concrete problems like communication breakdowns, guilt and shame, loneliness, and coping with major life changes. Sessions also cover coaching-style planning for career changes or finding new direction when someone feels stuck.
People who come to Palmer can expect direct, focused conversations that move from identifying problems to trying practical steps. She helps clients experiment with changes, notice what works, and adjust plans as needed.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking concrete steps that align with those values. It can help people who feel directionless after a job change, breakup, or health event to decide what matters and act on it.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood shifts by teaching skills to reframe thinking and test new behaviors.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building on the client’s own expertise about their life. This approach supports people who need space to reflect and to set their own priorities for change.
Choosing the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust plans based on what helps. Expect decisions about focus and techniques to be made together rather than prescribed up front.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use sessions from different locations when circumstances permit. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered exercises to remote sessions so practical skills and planning continue between meetings.
