About Tanya
Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions can include direct guidance when needed and lighthearted moments when appropriate. Tanya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mixing in natural and holistic ideas to fit each person’s needs rather than forcing a single method.

Over 20 years she has supported a wide age range of clients with mood disorders, bipolar concerns, and issues related to self-esteem and recovery from trauma. Her approach focuses on skills people can use between sessions to cope with stress and build more stable routines.
Tanya is based in California and provides guidance with an emphasis on respect and compassion. She encourages people to take the first step toward change and offers steady support as they work through difficult moments.

CBT and practical approaches for online therapy
Tanya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT focuses on small, concrete steps people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage stress.She also draws on natural and holistic ideas to support overall wellbeing, such as attention to routines, sleep habits, and self-care practices that complement skills learned in therapy. These additions aim to help people feel steadier day to day.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tanya works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than following a single playbook. She explains options and adjusts methods as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people meet from different locations within the same region. Licensed professionals can adapt methods used in person to remote work so clients can practice skills between meetings.
