Verna Tickle

My name is Verna, and I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the State of Washington. I have 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship issues, major transitions, or simply feeling stuck, I bring a calm, compassionate presence and a practical mindset to our work together. I believe therapy should feel safe, respectful, and collaborative. You are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you — offering support, insight, and tools to help you clarify what matters most and move toward it with greater confidence. Over the years, I’ve worked with adults from all walks of life. I draw from various evidence-based approaches, including cognitive-behavioral strategies, strengths-based work, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy, always tailoring our sessions to your needs and goals. If you’re looking for someone thoughtful, down-to-earth, and nonjudgmental — someone who will truly listen and help you find clarity amid the noise — I’d be honored to work with you.
