I have seen first hand that life is hard. I have been encouraged to see the power of therapy across all settings and over all barriers. I have seen lives changed; I love my job. My name is Tia Gitgood. I am a Social Worker licensed in Michigan, Tennessee, and Georgia with over 10 years of experience. I have worked in various settings from in-home to community clinics. I received my Master's Degree in Social Work from Georgia State University.
I utilize a mix of therapies. My priority is to help my client. I work to stay up to date on new research to ensure that if something can help, I know about it. I primarily utilize cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, and motivational interviewing. I believe the whole person must be treated. If you are not your emotional best, your body will tell you.
I would love to take this journey to healing with you when you are ready.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Tia is quite literally the best thing that has ever happened to me. The strides I’ve made with her as my therapist are beyond measure. She’s incredible!
She’s the best of the best!!!
Tia has been the biggest blessing in my life. She’s honest and empathetic and validated my feelings. She’s not just a therapist, but someone who’s experienced a life that allows her to relate to her clients on many different levels. She’s revolutionary and I pray everyone gets to experience her guidance as a therapist.
Tia has helped me so much in the grief I was experiencing over the loss of my mother and more. She has been supportive and challenging. For the first time in a long while I am feeling hopeful and having more good days than bad days.
Love Tia. She has helped break down barriers and be more present in my daily living and family
Very good therapist she’s still helping me with my week to week improvements.
Tia is so kind and has a calming presence. She asks questions, and allows you time to consider your thoughts and feelings rather than guiding you to an answer. Even after a short while I already feel better and Tia’s guidance is to thank for that!
I trust Tia and I feel that I can share anything with her. She makes me feel seen and heard. I'm so much better for having her in my life. Joining Better Help the best decision I ever made.
Tia is an amazing therapist! She is present and really shows that she cares. She cares by acknowledging your experience, by giving thoughtful questions, suggestions, & ways to work on the situation you’re going through. I 100% recommend her to others!
Tia is amazing. It’s been a few weeks but I feel so blessed to have found her. I thought I was miss in person sessions, however, she’s so personable it radiates through our video calls. Excited to keep working with her to tackle these challenges I’m facing.
Tia is always professional, dedicated (she will try to support in a variety of mediums/times etc) and is very proactive on sending messages and worksheets to supplement sessions. She is one of the best counsellors I’ve met over the years. I highly highly recommend her.
I've been with Tia for over a year now, and although I'm in the behavior health field myself, she has allowed me so much new clarity and freedom through our sessions. I've learned how to cope in healthy ways, how to find power through my anxiety, and on top of that, she's just a really great reflector and person to bounce ideas off of. She's one of the good ones!
Tia is wonderful - professional , attentive and responsive. She also gives you work to do between sessions which I really appreciate.
Tia has been so supportive and helpful on breaking down barriers that I’ve had up all my life. She is insightful and very down to earth to be comfortable enough to open up to. Highly recommend!
Talking with Tia is so helpful. I feel so much better after our video sessions. Being seen, heard, and listened to releases a physical tension I hadn't previously realized was there. Signing up for betterhelp was the best decision I ever made.
I am a therapist myself and never did I imagine I would find a therapist as great as Tia. I wish I could recommend her to the world.
Tia challenges my thinking and helps me explore a happier life despite the hardships. I've felt so incredibly supported, but she is also a therapist that wants us to grow, so she challenges me in the ways I need. Very grateful for her!
Great therapy service
Tia is very sharp and quick with her analysis and support. She has an incredible casual approach and likes talking issues out as a friend. She has been quick to also “figure me out” and lend a lot of help for the way I think and process different life events. She is terrific!
Tia has been a wonderful support and help to me. She is encouraging, responds quickly, and helps me recognize things about myself and find solutions. I am grateful for her help!
Awesome
Tia has been very helpful for me in the few sessions we’ve had and I’m excited to see where it takes me. I am very thankful for her and this process
