About Tinna

Tinna Palmer, LSCSW, brings seven years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, mood disorders, family conflict, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

She approaches each person as the expert on their own life, helping them draw on strengths and build skills to move toward greater balance and wellbeing. Her work addresses practical concerns like parenting, career shifts, and coping with major changes, as well as emotional themes such as guilt, shame, self-esteem, isolation, and forgiveness.

Palmer integrates evidence-based strategies to create tailored care that reflects each client’s goals and values. She combines psychotherapeutic tools with coaching-oriented support to help clients navigate compassion fatigue, ADHD-related difficulties, anger, and social anxiety.

Operating from a collaborative, respectful stance, she encourages clients to take courageous steps toward healing while offering guidance and empowerment along the way. This practice is based in Kansas and conducted in English, with session formats that adapt to client needs and schedules.

Integrating approaches for online healing and flexibility

Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites clients to notice and relate to the different parts of their inner experience, helping people compassionately explore emotions and beliefs that influence behavior; it can be helpful for trauma, self-criticism, and complex emotional patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility, teaching practical ways to accept difficult feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, creating space for people to feel heard and understood as they explore challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to review concerns, preferences, and goals, and then tailor interventions drawing from these methods so that the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model onto every situation.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which help accommodate busy schedules, mobility limits, and geographic constraints. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent care and flexible scheduling so clients can access support in ways that align with their daily life and commitments.
