About Tanya
She uses a collaborative, client-centered style. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps, and homework that keeps progress moving between visits. Tanya blends cognitive behavioral ideas with narrative work and EMDR techniques when appropriate to a person's needs.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Louisiana State University and a master’s in counseling psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Tanya practices in Maryland and provides care in English. She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to set goals and try new behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) involves structured techniques to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity when trauma or abuse is a concern.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort. Plans can combine approaches and adjust over time based on what is helping.
Confirm current session options before booking, as available formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people do focused skill practice between sessions and bring real-life examples into conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt the approaches above to remote sessions, and this therapist will discuss practical arrangements when you begin the process.
