About Tiffany

Tiffany Carpenter is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas who brings 19 years of clinical experience to her practice. Her early years were spent providing care for children and families in residential settings, which shaped a focus on attachment wounds and trauma.

Background and approach

Tiffany frames many struggles - from anxiety and depression to difficulty forming trusting relationships - as often rooted in early adverse experiences and long-term stressors that can affect both body and mind.

She uses a blend of approaches to help clients process distressing memories and reduce overwhelming sensations, including EMDR to address traumatic material and evidence-informed talk therapies to build coping skills.

Tiffany has specific training to adapt EMDR for children and teens who may not have the verbal tools to describe their experience, and she has worked with families across developmental stages.

Her work also encompasses concerns such as parenting challenges, grief, compassion fatigue, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions, and she draws on attachment-focused ideas to strengthen relationships and community connection.

Online approaches for trauma, attachment, and coping

Many of Tiffany's methods translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, and it often includes practical skill-building exercises. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and early bonds to help clients improve connection and security with others, which can be helpful for family and relationship concerns. EMDR uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside focused recall of distressing memories to reduce their emotional charge and can be adapted for children, teens, and adults who have experienced trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tiffany works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and the nature of the concern so that together they can decide whether CBT, attachment-focused work, EMDR, mindfulness practices, or a combination best fits the client’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home or other locations. These options allow ongoing therapeutic work, skills practice between sessions, and continuity of care when life circumstances make in-person visits difficult.
