Tinna Palmer, LSCSW

LSCSW in Kansas with 7 years of experience, Tinna Palmer helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, mood concerns, parenting strain, and related issues. She approaches work with concrete methods drawn from several therapeutic models and centers the client as the expert in their story.

Tinna uses clear, direct conversation to identify practical next steps. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, problem solving for day-to-day stressors, and ways to reduce repeated patterns that cause pain. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide those choices.

Clients can expect a focus on specific concerns like depression, bipolar disorder, anger, or difficulties with boundaries and communication. Tinna also addresses parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and career or life-purpose questions. She works with issues of shame, guilt, social anxiety, and isolation as part of broader treatment goals.

Her style is collaborative. She helps people name values and set short-term goals that connect to those values. Techniques may include behavioral experiments, skills practice, and guided reflection to notice what works and what does not.

Over time the emphasis is on building everyday coping strategies and stronger patterns of relating to oneself and others. People who want straightforward conversation about problems, concrete tools to practice, and regular check-ins about progress may find this approach practical and direct.
