About Tiara
Tiara Shoals is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems, low self-esteem, and motivation. Tiara lists blended family issues among her additional focus areas and can help people facing the particular tensions that arise when households combine.
Her approach blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques. In practice that means she listens for what matters most to each person and then uses straightforward tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions are typically practical and goal-oriented, with time spent on communication skills, coping strategies, and small behavior changes.
Tiara aims to create a space where people can talk openly about hurt, anger, grief, or confusion. She works with clients to identify patterns, set short-term goals, and try new ways of responding to difficult situations. Expect direct conversation and step-by-step problem solving rather than long abstract explanations.
She also addresses issues like codependency, commitment worries, jealousy, and loneliness when they affect daily life. That can include discussing boundaries, managing expectations in stephouseholds, and navigating co-parenting with an ex. The focus stays on what each individual can do to reduce stress and improve relationships.
Practical matters such as scheduling, session length, and cost are handled through the platform sign-up. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and feelings. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client name what matters. This approach is useful when someone needs clarity about values, relationship decisions, or emotional reactions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include short homework tasks, thought records, and rehearsal of new communication skills. CBT is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and stress that interfere with daily life.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, what has helped before, and what feels doable. Together they will try methods, review what works, and adjust the plan as needed rather than assuming one fixed method up front.
The platform handling this profile organizes intake and scheduling through a short matching questionnaire and a first appointment.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also supports straightforward skill practice between sessions, such as communication scripts or brief behavior experiments that fit into everyday life.
