About Na-Amau

Na-Amau Tahiru brings a practical, skills-focused approach informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, and depression.

Background and approach

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with an additional CSW credential, she emphasizes collaborative work that draws on each person’s strengths while teaching tools for managing emotions and navigating life transitions. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including relationship and family dynamics, trauma and abuse, grief and anger, career-related stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

She also supports clients facing aging and geriatric issues, caregiving burdens, cancer, hospice and end-of-life matters, immigration challenges, and other complex life circumstances. Na-Amau adapts therapeutic techniques to fit individual needs and focuses on building coping skills that can be applied beyond the therapy room.

Fluent in English, Hausa, and Twi, she works with clients in Georgia and accepts international clients. With three years of documented clinical experience, Na-Amau offers empathetic, strengths-based care designed to help people move through difficult moments and toward practical, achievable goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Na-Amau integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support people in clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility when facing difficult emotions or life transitions. These approaches are presented in straightforward, skill-building ways so clients can apply them to everyday challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and the specific issues they bring, and then tailor methods that fit those needs. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to connect from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support while accommodating varied communication styles and availability.
