About Tawana
Tawana Cummings, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), is licensed in Texas and has 12 years of practice experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She uses client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused approaches to guide sessions.
Tawana talks through current problems and helps people set clear, practical goals. She works on coping skills for anxiety and grief, and on strategies to manage parenting stress and self-worth. Sessions emphasize straightforward conversation and steps people can try between meetings.
Her background includes long-term work with people facing medical and caregiver burdens. She has experience addressing aging and geriatric issues, cancer, chronic illness and pain, and caregiver stress. She also works with concerns related to fertility, HIV/AIDS, and first responder stress.
Tawana uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns of thinking that affect mood and behavior. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and on motivational interviewing to help with readiness for change. Solution-focused methods support short-term goal setting and problem solving.
Sessions are scheduled with respect for the client’s needs and daily life. She sees clients in Texas and conducts work in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking, as availability can vary.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, helping build trust and direction in a few clear steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interactions with others.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration may involve trying a few techniques and adjusting what is used over time.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that align with work or caregiving schedules. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to clarify how sessions will be conducted and what will work best for your routine.
