About Na-Amau

Na-Amau Tahiru is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who grounds her work in Emotionally-Focused Therapy and practical, person-centered care. She speaks English, Hausa, and Twi and practices from Georgia. Na-Amau brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those facing career stress, anger, and the challenges of aging, caregiving, cancer, or hospice and end-of-life concerns.

Background and approach

ADHD and immigration-related stress are additional areas she addresses. Her approach blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful. That means she pays attention to emotions in the moment, helps people notice what matters most to them, and works on practical skills to manage thoughts and behavior.

Na-Amau emphasizes collaboration and clarity. Sessions aim to identify a few clear goals, try different ways of responding, and build on strengths already present in the person’s life. She frames therapy as a process of learning and adjustment rather than quick fixes.

With three years of clinical experience as a licensed social worker and prior work in related mental health roles, she offers support for a wide range of life stressors. People can expect direct conversation, compassion, and concrete strategies to use between sessions.

Online support

Emotion and Action Focused Care Online

Na-Amau uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to notice and work with emotions as they arise, helping people understand patterns that affect relationships and personal wellbeing. This approach is useful for grief, trauma, family problems, and emotional pain that feels stuck.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. ACT supports coping with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching practical acceptance and commitment strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Na-Amau will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor sessions collaboratively rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and working through emotion in the moment. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, between-session coaching, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
