About Qiana
Qiana Russell is a licensed social worker who helps people manage strong emotions and stress. She focuses on practical steps for anger, anxiety, parenting strains, self-esteem, and motivation. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at people who want clear strategies and steady support.
She draws on 16 years of clinical experience and holds the credentials LISW, LCSW, and CSW. That background informs how she blends conversation with hands-on tools.
Background and approach
Sessions typically look at what is happening now and what small changes might ease tension or improve communication. Qiana uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and reactions. She also uses client-centered and solution-focused methods to center each person’s priorities.
Trauma-focused strategies are included when past events continue to affect daily life. In the room she helps people name patterns, try new responses, and practice skills between sessions. Practical exercises and short-term goal-setting are common features of her work.
She emphasizes strengths and clear next steps rather than lengthy theory. She works with adults in Georgia and offers sessions in English. People can expect a collaborative approach that balances listening with actionable tools.
Qiana encourages anyone feeling stuck to take the next step toward change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and pacing, offering a space to be heard and decide what matters most. This approach helps when someone wants their priorities to guide each session and prefers a collaborative tone.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It suits concerns like anxiety, anger, mood disorders, and many everyday stresses because it emphasizes concrete exercises and short-term practice.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. It can be useful for stress, anger, and mood regulation when someone wants practical ways to calm their responses.
Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging can fit busy days, quick skill practice, or ongoing written reflection. These options increase flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments.
