About Tanya
Her style is interactive and straightforward. She may use humor at times to bring perspective, and at other times she will be more directive to teach skills. Tanya leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She matches the way she works to each person rather than forcing a single method.
Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between appointments. That can mean learning ways to manage anxious or depressive thoughts, practicing new ways to talk about relationship needs, or breaking a big life change into manageable actions. Tanya also addresses topics like guilt, shame, isolation, self-esteem, and midlife concerns.
She has experience across a broad age range and with mood disorders including bipolar concerns, and supports people dealing with cancer-related distress and women's health issues. Her approach blends CBT with attention to everyday routines that affect mood and sleep. Meetings aim to be clear, direct, and useful for the next day.
To start, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking a first appointment.

How Tanya uses CBT for online sessions
Many of Tanya's interventions are drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. CBT helps people notice thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and then try small, concrete behavior changes to test new outcomes. This approach is useful for worries, low mood, sleep problems, and managing stress.Her work is collaborative; she helps clients figure out which techniques fit their goals and routines. That means she will suggest experiments, homework, and clear skill practice, and she adapts methods based on how a person responds over time.
Confirm the session formats and logistics before booking since the biography does not specify exact online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week by removing travel time and allowing sessions during lunch breaks or evenings. It also lets sessions focus on real-life challenges you face between meetings, since the therapist and client can plan assignments that suit daily routines.
