Tanya Richmond

Tanya Richmond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 26 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, and career questions. Tanya also helps those dealing with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, isolation, and matters around life purpose and end-of-life planning.

Her approach centers on person-centered work and mindfulness. She listens to understand what matters to each person and uses that information to guide sessions. Tanya blends client-centered skills with practical techniques such as mindful breathing, guided meditation, and gentle movement practices like Qi Gong that she finds helpful for building emotional regulation.

Sessions aim to be reflective and conversational. Tanya avoids using labels and focuses on what a person wants to change or understand. She uses elements of cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods when they fit the goals at hand, and she brings trauma-focused tools for people who need them.

Many people consult her when they feel stuck after a life change, when grief or caregiver strain wears them down, or when they are rethinking work and purpose. Tanya helps people talk through options, notice patterns that limit them, and try small, practical steps to test new ways of living.

She asks questions to clarify priorities and then works collaboratively to shape sessions around those priorities. Her background includes long-term clinical practice with adults in community and care settings, with a focus on supporting people through difficult transitions and end-of-life concerns.

How Tanya uses evidence-based approaches in remote work

Tanya often combines person-centered listening with structured methods to address immediate problems and longer-term patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact; it can help with anxiety, low mood, and repetitive unhelpful thinking by testing small behavior changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; it can be useful for stress, caregiver fatigue, and managing grief.

Choosing the right approach is part of how she works. Tanya treats approach selection as collaborative. She will discuss your goals, try an idea, and adjust based on what helps you make progress and feel more settled in daily life.

Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work and caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Some people prefer audio-only for lower bandwidth or quicker phone-type conversations, while others like video for face-to-face interaction. Tanya will talk through what will work best for your needs and routines.
