About Tinna

Tinna Palmer is a licensed social worker in Kansas who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression, and the ripple effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She also supports clients facing family and parenting challenges, anger and self-esteem struggles, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, and addresses related issues like communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions of life purpose and self-love. With seven years of clinical experience, she approaches each person respectfully and with practical tools drawn from evidence-informed therapies.

Palmer emphasizes the client’s own strengths and perspective, treating people as the experts in their own lives while offering guidance and skills to move toward clearer values and healthier patterns. Her style is collaborative and empowerment-focused, aiming to help clients build coping strategies, improve relationships, and find direction during life changes.

She blends methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered techniques to tailor work to individual needs and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Growth and Skill Building

Palmer incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in online work to offer both practical skills and values-focused change. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and build committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings remain present, which can aid coping with life transitions and inner conflict.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to select and adapt methods based on individual goals, presenting concerns, and personal preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and meaningful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats allow clients to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work across locations within Kansas, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while practicing skills between sessions.
