About Tierra
Tierra Rushing is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage strong emotions and stressful life shifts. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more in control. Tierra creates a calm, compassionate space for people to talk through what’s going on and try new ways of coping.
She uses clear, goal-oriented tools tailored to each person. Sessions often include thought work, mindfulness exercises, and motivational conversations to help people move toward their goals.
Background and approach
Tierra draws on six years of clinical experience and a background in social work to match strategies to each situation. Her experience includes supporting adults and adolescents facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, family conflict, and stress-related concerns. She pays attention to how mood, relationships, and life transitions affect day-to-day functioning.
Tierra also addresses anger and impulsivity by teaching skills for managing reactions and rebuilding trust in oneself. People who come for help can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and homework when it’s useful. Tierra prefers straightforward explanations and small, achievable steps rather than jargon.
She emphasizes building healthier patterns in relationships and a kinder relationship with oneself. Educationally, she earned a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Central Florida and a Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University. Tierra’s work spans short-term focused care and longer-term support, and she offers several remote session formats for convenience.

How Tierra's Approaches Work Online
Tierra often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in sessions. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments, which helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment calm.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tierra will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then recommend methods to try. She adjusts plans over time based on what works and what the person prefers, combining techniques when helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversation and practicing skills together. Phone calls can be easier when someone has limited bandwidth or needs a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing support between fuller sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy days.
