Tanya has about 10 years of experience working with individuals, youth, couples, and blended families in different settings. She is currently based in Maryland and holds an LCPC license in Maryland.
Therapy with Tanya blends several methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses narrative approaches to help people rewrite the stories that shape their choices. For trauma-related concerns she incorporates EMDR steps when appropriate.
Tanya aims to make counseling practical and goal-focused. She partners with clients to set measurable steps, follow through with assigned tasks, and adjust the plan as life changes. People looking for support with career direction, communication problems, or young adult transitions may find this approach useful.

How therapy methods translate to online work
Tanya uses client-centered counseling to focus on each person's needs. That approach centers on listening and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. It helps with relationship strain, self-esteem, career transitions, and general life stress.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT breaks down concerns into manageable steps and adds practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences to decide which methods to try. The plan can be adjusted over time if something isn’t working or priorities shift.
