About Tiontay

Tiontay Castillo is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career questions, depression, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

The goal is to build on existing strengths and find actions that fit day-to-day life. Her style centers on listening first and then helping people set clear, achievable goals. Conversations look at how feelings and choices affect daily routines, work, and relationships.

She uses tools that help people notice patterns and try small experiments to change them. Tiontay also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and self-love. She offers practical ideas for workplace stress and women's issues, and helps people weigh options when career choices feel overwhelming.

Online support

Approaches that fit online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead to uncover what matters most. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to make sense of feelings and decide next steps.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It works well for career shifts, managing stress, or moving past guilt and shame by encouraging small, meaningful choices.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims at clear, short-term goals and practical steps. It is useful when someone wants quick, doable changes for workplace stress, self-esteem, or daily anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try together. This is a collaborative process that can change as goals evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls work well for deeper conversations, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
