Tanya Baker

Tanya Baker is an Indiana licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and coping with life changes. Tanya works with people who feel stuck or unsure what comes next, offering straightforward help for practical problems and emotional strain.

Tanya invites clients to talk through decisions, shifting roles, and doubts about purpose. She listens for patterns that keep people feeling stuck, then tests small, doable changes to see what helps. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings more manageable and give clearer steps for everyday life.

Her work often addresses feelings tied to control, shame, abandonment, isolation, and impulsivity. Tanya also supports people dealing with panic, post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, and concerns that come up for veterans and armed forces communities. Career and workplace concerns, sexuality, self-love, and women’s issues are additional areas she regularly addresses.

Tanya favors evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on practical skills rather than theory alone. She encourages clients to build on their own strengths while experimenting with different ways of handling stressful situations. Progress is measured in real-life shifts, such as calmer reactions, clearer decisions, or better day-to-day functioning.

Approaches to direction and change in remote sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques here focus on practical skill building and testing small changes. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with clearer, more manageable responses. This helps with anxiety, panic, low mood, and getting unstuck when decisions feel overwhelming.

Another approach centers on behavioral experiments and gradual exposure to feared or avoided situations. That work aims to reduce reactivity and increase confidence by doing doable tasks and reviewing what happens. It often helps with panic attacks, avoidance, and proving that change is possible in everyday life.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and therapist review what is working and adjust the plan as needed rather than sticking to a single method.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from a familiar setting. Phone or video sessions can be chosen for quieter conversations, shorter check-ins, or when being on camera is not preferred.
