Clients looking for help with identity questions, relationship struggles, trauma, caregiver stress, or mood concerns can expect direct guidance and steady support. She also addresses issues like adoption and foster care, aging concerns, autism-related needs, body image, and smoking or vaping cessation.

Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Tanja helps people set clear, realistic goals and checks progress over time, adjusting the plan as needed.

How CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness work online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing specific skills to change them. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and problems like smoking or vaping cessation.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clarify what matters to a person and builds committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult feelings. It can be helpful for mood concerns, identity questions, and chronic stress.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus. These exercises pair well with CBT and ACT to help manage overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, and daily life.
