About Tanya
Tanya Wood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and major life changes. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk about hard experiences and find practical ways forward. She uses a person-centered stance that puts the client's goals first.
Sessions emphasize listening, clear feedback, and step-by-step plans. Tanya blends structured techniques with warm, direct support so people can try small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Tanya draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and develop alternative ways of coping. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and build momentum toward better days. For people affected by trauma, she adds trauma-focused work to address painful memories at a pace that feels manageable.
Her practice covers common concerns such as depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and self-esteem difficulties. She also addresses more specific challenges like caregiving stress, chronic illness, attachment issues, and recovery after separation or domestic violence. Tanya has seven years of counseling experience and works in both English and Spanish.
She blends practical skill-building with emotional support so people leave sessions with something they can try between meetings. If someone wants straightforward guidance and steady support, she aims to offer that in clear, manageable steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust so the client sets the pace and goals. It helps people feel understood and decide what changes matter most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and habits that keep anxiety and low mood going. It teaches concrete skills to test and change unhelpful thoughts and to build new coping habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can be useful for people who need tools for distress tolerance and more stable emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will review concerns and try methods that match the client's goals, adjusting plans as needed. That collaborative approach helps identify what feels most helpful early in care.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and needs.
