About Tanya
Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. She may also draw on natural and holistic ideas when they fit a person’s needs.
Tanya balances a gentle, compassionate stance with moments of direct feedback. She sometimes uses humor to make a point and other times offers straightforward guidance. Her focus is on matching the treatment to the person, not forcing a single method on everyone.
People often come to her for help with mood disorders, sleep problems, trauma and abuse, identity questions including LGBT concerns, and parenting or young adult challenges. She also supports people coping with cancer, guilt and shame, loneliness, and searching for life purpose.
Sessions are offered in English from California. Tanya encourages those ready to take a step toward change to reach out and complete the intake steps to begin scheduling.

How Tanya Uses CBT Online to Address Life Changes
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety and depression. It breaks problems into concrete steps - thoughts, feelings, and actions - so small changes can lead to clearer days. This approach often helps with sleep problems, mood disorders, stress, and adjusting to big life transitions.She also blends CBT with natural and holistic ideas when it fits a person’s needs. Those additions may include lifestyle and self-care conversations that support mood and energy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match goals and preferences rather than using one fixed approach.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya collaborates with clients to test what helps and adjusts the plan over time. This collaborative process aims to make therapy practical and relevant to everyday life.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the clinician about what will fit your routine and goals so sessions can be arranged to work in with daily life.
