She has a long history of supporting people with relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and challenges that come with life changes.

Her background includes extensive community mental health work and a long tenure at a child and family agency. Since opening her private practice in 2017, she has continued seeing adults and adolescents. Tanya often prioritizes the needs of women and people from marginalized groups and welcomes clients across diverse identities.

In sessions she uses straightforward approaches to build coping skills and to reduce overwhelming symptoms. She works with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy as well as acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused perspectives, client-centered ways of relating, and EMDR for trauma where appropriate. The goal is to find practical steps that fit each person’s life.

Tanya aims for a collaborative process that respects each person’s pace. She helps clients set realistic goals and practices new skills between meetings. Her style is grounded, direct, and empathic for people navigating real-life problems.

How Tanya’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by practicing new responses and testing them in everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and accepting difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful action, which can help with life changes and chronic worry. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to strengthen emotional connections and safety in relationships.

Tanya treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they figure out whether techniques from CBT, ACT, or attachment work best and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work and therapeutic exercises, while phone sessions can require less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief coaching, follow-up between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
