About Tawana
Tawana Cummings is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 12 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and adjusting to life changes. Tawana also works with issues linked to aging, cancer, caregiving, chronic illness and pain, and reproductive concerns.
She aims to keep sessions practical and direct. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can help in everyday life. Tawana uses familiar methods to help people reduce anxiety, manage grief, and build confidence in parenting and caregiving roles.
Her approach draws from client-centered work that centers the person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT strategies for managing strong emotions and stress. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools help when someone needs short-term direction or to re-engage with goals.
Tawana practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. She has worked across situations that include family conflict, divorce and separation, first responder stress, fertility and fatherhood issues, and long-term caregiving. Her background includes supporting people facing chronic illness, HIV/AIDS, and the aftermath of natural or human-caused disasters.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities. It means the therapist listens closely and shapes conversations around what matters most to the client, useful for stress, grief, and parenting concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In a few concrete steps, CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. Techniques include grounding, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance that are practical during high-stress moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as problems evolve or goals shift.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, scheduling a short check-in during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a session that does not require being on camera. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency and apply new skills between meetings.
