Na-Amau Tahiru

Na-Amau Tahiru is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, CSW) based in Georgia who uses compassionate, person-centered care to address stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, and end-of-life concerns. She frames the work around each person's strengths and helps people take practical steps toward feeling steadier. Na-Amau speaks English, Hausa, and Twi and works with clients from varied backgrounds, including international ones.

She favors straightforward approaches that help people notice what matters and make small, usable changes. That includes techniques drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. She also draws on Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas to create a supportive space for exploring emotions and relationships.

With three years of clinical experience as an LCSW and CSW, Na-Amau brings a focus on real-life coping skills. She helps people facing caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, cancer and hospice concerns, and the emotional toll of trauma or first-responder work. Her practice also addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, and the strain that immigration or HIV/AIDS-related stress can cause.

Sessions center on listening, clarifying goals, and practicing tools that can be used between meetings. She emphasizes collaboration - clients set the pace and identify what matters most. People can expect clear steps, gentle challenge, and a focus on what helps day to day.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Payment structures vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. It can be useful for stress, depression, and coping skills training.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Na-Amau will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking in on what helps and adjusting strategies over time so sessions stay useful and focused on real problems.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the therapist's biography does not list particular options. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove travel time. It can also allow people to connect across regions, which helps those who live far from a therapist or who need language matches like Hausa or Twi. Licensed professionals can discuss which session rhythm and format will work best during the first scheduling steps.
