Tanea Couther, LCPC

Tanea Couther is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma. She also works with those dealing with relationship strain and compassion fatigue. Her approach begins with listening and treating each person with respect and sensitivity.

Tanea keeps conversations straightforward and practical. She tailors the discussion and care plan to each person's needs. That can mean working on coping skills for panic, practicing different ways to talk about relationship problems, or addressing patterns that feed low self-esteem.

Her background includes work with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and life changes that leave people feeling stuck or empty. She also focuses on attachment and communication problems, issues around control, and painful feelings like guilt and shame. This experience shapes how she helps people set small, manageable goals.

In sessions she blends familiar approaches such as client-centered methods, cognitive-behavioral tools, and mindfulness practices. Those tools are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and manage strong emotions. She adjusts techniques to match what each person prefers and needs.

Tanea understands that taking the first step takes courage. She aims to provide steady support while people work toward clearer direction, healthier relationships, and better daily coping.

How different approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. It helps people feel heard and guides decisions about what to work on next, which can be useful for stress and relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It offers clear exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes, often used for anxiety and mood problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for handling intense emotions and improving communication. It can help with impulse control, anger, and overwhelming distress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means adjusting pace, practice homework, and conversation style together.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy schedule and keeps continuity when life is hectic. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, or meet during a break from work. Because session formats were not specified in the profile, confirm current online or in-person options before booking to know what the therapist offers.
