About Tiara

Tiara Shoals is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, and self-esteem concerns. She brings a collaborative, nonjudgmental stance to therapy and encourages clients to explore thoughts and feelings as part of building greater confidence and motivation.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes practical skills and compassionate listening to help clients take meaningful steps toward a more satisfying life. With three years of clinical experience, she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside a client-centered attitude to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Tiara works with issues that range from trauma, grief, and depression to parenting challenges, career concerns, and identity-related matters including LGBT topics. She also addresses specialized areas such as blended family dynamics, codependency, communication problems, and postpartum mood concerns.

Prospective clients can expect an approachable therapist who aims to meet them where they are and partner in the work of change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Flexibility

The practice combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to support change and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and adjust patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering concrete strategies for symptom relief and improved functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own goals, creating space for exploration and emotional processing in a nonjudgmental way.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase accessibility and fit therapy into busy lives. These options allow for greater scheduling flexibility, make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations within Oklahoma, and give clients the choice of more immediate or reflective forms of interaction depending on what feels most helpful.
