Dr. Tanya Harrell, LPC

Dr. Tanya Harrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends humanistic care with evidence-based methods. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, midlife questions, and other life changes. Her tone is compassionate and direct, aimed at people who need clear support during hard moments.

She has seven years of clinical experience working with adults and children from diverse backgrounds. That work has included counseling people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, homelessness, and other forms of trauma. She draws on those experiences to offer practical help rooted in real-life understanding.

In sessions she uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered and attachment-based principles. That means conversations look at values, present-moment choices, and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also incorporates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotional regulation and coping strategies are needed.

Her approach starts by listening to each person's story and priorities. She focuses on building a trusting relationship and tailoring strategies to fit the person in front of her. Expect straightforward talk about goals, small steps to try between meetings, and a focus on strengths.

Dr. Harrell works from Louisiana and sees people in English. She supports a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, addiction struggles, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, intimacy issues, and career transitions.

How her approaches guide online care

Dr. Harrell draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based and client-centered ideas to guide therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts, and take meaningful action. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early patterns affect emotions and closeness; it can help with relationship strain, intimacy worries, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the persons own experience, offering empathy and reflection to help people discover their strengths and next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and comfort. That could mean trying values-based exercises, practicing new thinking patterns, or using skills for emotion regulation, all adapted to the pace the person prefers.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, video visits when face-to-face cues matter, or audio-only conversations when bandwidth is limited. Working remotely still allows for goal setting, skills practice between sessions, and progress reviews, all shaped around everyday routines and responsibilities.
