About Tiffany

Tiffany Thornton is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who centers her work in evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Background and approach

She draws on eight years of clinical experience and her own nontraditional educational path to offer practical, goal-oriented support for concerns such as relationships, intimacy, stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, and parenting. Her background also shapes a compassionate, collaborative style rooted in understanding changing life roles and blended family dynamics.

Using a blend of attachment-focused work, client-centered principles, and elements from emotionally-focused and existential therapies, she aims to tailor care to each person’s needs. Tiffany has completed Level 1 of the Gottman Method for couples and brings particular attention to communication, infidelity, jealousy, and rebuilding intimacy.

She also lists focused experience with issues such as abandonment, codependency, BDSM and kink-related concerns, and family of origin patterns. Tiffany works as an ally to the LGBT community and accepts international clients while practicing from Wisconsin.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and support practical problem solving; it is often applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and closeness, helping clients build more supported ways of relating and improving intimacy.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, explore preferences, and try interventions that fit their situation, adjusting the plan as progress and feedback guide the work.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in these methods through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to maintain consistent work on skills, processing, and communication exercises from home or while traveling, and supports scheduling around busy lives and changing circumstances. Licensed professionals can translate CBT exercises, attachment-focused conversations, and client-centered reflection into remote formats to keep therapy practical and accessible.
