She has also worked with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care, and trauma from abuse or disaster. Her background includes work with adults and adolescents facing multiple diagnoses.

Approach and Access: Using CBT and Client-Centered Methods Online

She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where a person leads the conversation and the therapist listens and reflects to help clarify goals.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. Tanya will discuss options and try approaches that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences so progress feels manageable and relevant. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as things change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or daily practice. These options help clients fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity between sessions.
