Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are part of her approach when emotion regulation and relationships feel overwhelming. She also integrates ideas from existential and Jungian perspectives to help people explore meaning and identity when that is helpful. Her work covers a wide range of concerns tied to family of origin, attachment, adoption and foster care, abandonment, and blended family issues.
She also supports people coping with chronic illness, disability, dissociation, and complex mood challenges. Tanya aims to help clients move past surface symptoms to understand how patterns developed. That can make change more lasting.
Her practical focus is on learning tools for daily life and building new ways to cope and connect.

Online support
Using Practical Approaches in Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so people feel heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs support exploring feelings, identity, and relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress when life feels overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then recommend techniques to try together. That collaborative process can mean blending methods or emphasizing skills that fit the client’s situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let sessions feel closer to an in-person visit, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or to choose shorter, focused communication. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
