Background and approach
Tanya listens for patterns tied to attachment, self-worth, and life transitions, then helps clients try new ways of coping. Her work often includes skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current struggles.
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing techniques are used to increase awareness and strengthen motivation for change. Tanya has supported people dealing with addiction, chronic illness, career stress, parenting concerns, and trauma and abuse. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with sensitivity and compassion.
Her style is warm and relaxed, and she focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. For those ready to make a change, she helps set small, achievable goals and checks progress along the way. Tanya encourages questions and keeps the plan flexible to match shifting needs.
She welcomes messages to start a consultation and discuss next steps.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice how those patterns show up in stress and relationships. This approach is useful for people who want to understand why they react a certain way and try new ways of relating.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing small changes that reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related focus and planning struggles, and mood concerns.
Mindfulness techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce ruminative thinking. These practices can be brief and easy to add into daily routines to help with emotional regulation.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try a few methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Sessions include setting clear, achievable goals and tracking progress together.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and skill-building, phone sessions can fit into a short break or low-bandwidth situations, and texting or live chat let people check in between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
