Tinna Palmer

Tinna Palmer is a Kansas-based licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and loneliness. She frames the work around real life problems like parenting strain, career shifts, and family conflict. Her approach treats clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on practical steps forward.

She brings seven years of clinical experience to each session and emphasizes steady, compassionate support. Tinna listens closely and helps people name what feels hardest. She then helps create simple, doable strategies to manage emotions, reduce overwhelm, and rebuild routines.

Her sessions often address struggles with self-esteem, anger, guilt, and shame. People also seek her help for coping with trauma, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue. She draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the work to each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Tinna favors collaboration and clear goals. She partners with clients to set short-term steps and measure progress. That might include practicing new coping skills, shifting unhelpful thinking patterns, or working on communication skills for strained relationships.

Clients can expect a grounded, person-centered style that balances empathy with practical tools. The focus is on manageable change - small shifts that add up over time. Tinna aims to empower people to move toward more connected and purposeful days.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that align with those values. It is useful for loneliness, anxiety, and life transitions because it focuses on meaningful behavior rather than perfect feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It works well for stress, anxiety, and low mood by giving clear tools to practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Tinna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. That collaborative planning helps ensure the work feels useful and matched to the issues at hand.

Online therapy can make attending sessions easier to fit into daily life. It can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins, and make it simpler to keep regular momentum between appointments. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the current online and in-person options before booking so you know what will work best for your schedule and needs.
