About Tanya
Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions can be conversational and reflective or more directive when a clear plan helps. Tanya often uses humor when appropriate and treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core approach while blending in natural and holistic ideas when they fit.
Tanya focuses on practical tools that clients can use between sessions. That might include simple behavior experiments, thought-challenging exercises, or step-by-step plans to improve sleep and daily routines. She aims to match strategies to each person's needs rather than forcing a single method on everyone.
With experience across mood disorders, bipolar concerns, and issues like guilt, shame, isolation, and life purpose, Tanya brings a broad perspective to common struggles. She pays attention to women's issues, young adult transitions, and the emotional impacts of serious health concerns such as cancer.
Tanya invites people to take small, manageable steps toward change. She listens first, then helps set goals and practical actions. Her approach is steady, collaborative, and focused on usable skills clients can apply in daily life.
Practical CBT and online care for daily challenges
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and replacing them with practical alternatives. It is especially useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood regulation because it gives clear steps and exercises people can do between sessions.Tanya also blends natural and holistic ideas into treatment when they fit a person’s needs. Those additions can include lifestyle adjustments, simple routines, and grounding practices that support the behavioral changes CBT targets. Together these approaches aim to build small, manageable habits that improve daily functioning.
Tanya sees finding the right approach as a team effort. She will listen to your goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. The first sessions are often focused on practical goals and quick tools so you can test what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls approximate an in-person visit and are useful for in-depth work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no video. Live chat and text-based messaging are handy for brief check-ins, tracking small steps, or fitting a short session into a busy day. These options make it simpler to get consistent support around real-life schedules.
