Background and approach
Tanya draws on several approaches to guide therapy. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based thinking helps when relationship patterns and early wounds affect current life.
She also uses client-centered and mindfulness techniques to build self-awareness and calm. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help finding the drive to change, such as with addictions or career shifts. Tanya has worked in both clinical and leadership roles across her career, giving her experience with a wide range of problems and service settings.
She tailors conversation and plans to what each person brings to the room. Her goal is to support people as they take concrete steps toward a more satisfying life. To begin, Tanya asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided to clients in Florida.
Approach and online care that fit your life
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behavior. In practice this means talking through relationship histories, noticing recurring patterns, and trying new ways of relating to reduce anxiety and conflict.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress.
Client-centered work puts the person at the center of the process. Sessions emphasize empathy and listening so people can discover their own solutions and goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can shift over time as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a workday, caregiving schedule, or when travel would otherwise be a barrier.
