About Tanya

In the room she listens first, then helps people name their strengths and limits. She encourages clients to explore purpose and personal values while learning coping skills for mood, sleep, or impulse challenges. The tone is compassionate and straightforward.
People can expect conversations that prioritize their perspective and needs. Tanya aims to tailor strategies to each person’s life, whether the concern is caregiving strain, addiction, depression, ADHD, or adjustment to aging. The work is collaborative and focused on practical change.

Approaches that translate into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them. It helps with anxiety, depression, and life changes by focusing on what matters rather than on fighting difficult thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for mood issues, anxiety, sleep problems, and coping with stressful events.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It can help people understand relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and caregiver dynamics.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She collaborates with clients to try methods and adjust the plan over time.
Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or let them connect from another state. Online work can also keep continuity when life changes make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals adapt activities such as behavioral experiments, value-based planning, and skills practice to work in remote sessions.
