About Tanya
Tanya Richmond is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience. She helps people cope with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, career strain, and major life changes. Tanya also supports those facing compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and challenges tied to aging or caregiving.
Her work is warm, person-centered, and practical. Tanya listens first to learn what matters to each person. Then she tailors sessions to meet those specific needs instead of fitting people into labels.
Background and approach
Tanya blends mindful practices with hands-on strategies. She draws on mindfulness therapy, cognitive-behavioral ideas, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-informed approaches. She often includes breathing exercises, guided meditation, and gentle movement like Qi Gong when helpful.
Sessions aim to build everyday skills for handling worry, strong emotions, and stressful days. Conversations focus on small, doable changes that improve mood and functioning. Tanya emphasizes supports for caregivers and people coping with end-of-life planning or hospice-related stress.
People who work with Tanya can expect a respectful, reflective space to talk through concerns and identify next steps. She seeks to empower clients to find purpose, strengthen self-care, and make thoughtful decisions about change and healing.
Approaches that fit online care
Tanya uses client-centered methods that start with what matters to the person. This approach focuses on listening, respect, and tailoring sessions to each person's goals and values. It helps when someone needs a compassionate space to sort feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another part of her work. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then tests small changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is useful for everyday worry, stress, and patterns that get in the way of functioning.
Mindfulness therapy is also integrated into sessions. That includes breathing exercises, guided meditation, and gentle movement like Qi Gong to help calm the body and increase present-moment awareness.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist helps clients try methods and decide what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what is working.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction from a distance, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives.
