About Niya
Niya White is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people navigate grief, career shifts, self-esteem struggles, and overwhelming life changes. She brings three years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical, talk-based therapy that supports stepping forward in small, doable ways. Niya uses solution-focused work to help clients identify clear goals and immediate steps.
She helps people build everyday coping skills that reduce stress and restore a sense of control.
How Niya works
Sessions are collaborative and action-oriented, not lecture-based. She offers support for compassion fatigue and caregiver stress, recognizing how ongoing care responsibilities can wear a person down. Niya also works with people facing cancer, hospice, or end-of-life concerns, helping them manage difficult emotions and practical decisions.
Her style is warm and respectful. She listens first, then helps clients use their strengths and life experience to move toward the changes they want. Progress is set to each person’s pace and priorities.
Beginning therapy can feel intimidating. Niya aims to make the process straightforward and steady. She partners with people who want clear steps, realistic coping strategies, and a calm presence during hard transitions.

Approaches that help with grief and life transitions
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on specific goals and small steps that move a person forward. It works well for people who want concrete changes, like improving daily routines, reducing stress, or making career adjustments.Talk therapy provides space to process feelings and build insight. This approach helps people sort through grief, compassion fatigue, and the emotions that come with caregiving or serious illness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This happens together over the first few sessions as priorities and realistic steps are identified.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirming options helps plan around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy feels more manageable.
