About Tiara
Tiara Shoals is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflicts, self-esteem struggles, and anger. Tiara focuses on practical steps people can use day to day to manage strong feelings and improve communication.
Tiara uses a straightforward, client-centered style that begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. She combines that with elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, helping people notice how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with space to talk through what is making life harder right now.
People come to Tiara for help with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, career stress, and managing resentment that builds over time. She also works with issues like codependency, commitment worries, jealousy, and blended family challenges. Her approach addresses both immediate coping skills and longer-term patterns that keep problems repeating.
Tiara often supports clients dealing with postpartum depression, pregnancy-related stress, and women’s issues alongside broader struggles like ADHD, compassion fatigue, and multicultural concerns. She aims to help people build clearer communication and stronger boundaries so relationships feel more manageable.
Starting work with Tiara typically means identifying one or two practical goals and testing small changes between sessions. She uses direct conversation, thought-focused exercises, and behavioral strategies to help clients practice new responses to anger and frustration.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client brings. Online sessions using this approach look like open conversation where the therapist helps clarify goals and priorities. It is useful for people who need to sort feelings, plan next steps, and feel heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. Online CBT sessions tend to include homework between meetings, short skill practice, and clear steps to try in everyday situations. This approach helps with anger tied to stress, anxiety, or recurring patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining listening-focused sessions with CBT-style exercises until a practical routine emerges. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. Ask which formats are available and how they fit into your routine. One practical benefit of online sessions is easier scheduling around work or parenting demands. Another is the ability to use shorter check-ins when time is limited, or audio-only meetings when bandwidth is low. These options can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while handling everyday responsibilities.Areas of expertise
