Background and approach
Over more than two decades she has worked with many concerns connected to family life and identity. Common topics she addresses include attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, parental stress around pregnancy and childbirth, and separation after divorce. Tanya also helps people dealing with domestic violence, loss, guilt, shame, and the long-term effects of prejudice or discrimination.
She supports those coping with isolation, grief after disaster, and health-related stress such as living with HIV or AIDS. She holds credentials as an LPCC and an LPC in Georgia and Ohio. Tanya blends practical skill-building with a trauma-aware perspective so people can move from crisis toward steady progress.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Tanya works from evidence-based, trauma-informed methods that focus on recovery and skill building. One common approach she uses emphasizes stabilizing after trauma with grounding and coping strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on improving relationships and attachment patterns by identifying unhelpful interaction habits and practicing clearer communication and boundaries.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tanya will discuss goals, preferences, and the issues you bring and then suggest techniques that seem likely to help. Together you can try different methods and adjust the plan as progress and needs become clearer.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be a simple option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to connect between sessions, share updates, or manage fast-moving emotions without scheduling a full session. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
