How Tanea works
That means clients talk through what matters to them while learning skills to manage intense emotions and change unhelpful thoughts. She also uses mindfulness and existential ideas to help people find meaning, steady attention, and ways to tolerate uncertainty. These approaches can be helpful for grief, feelings of emptiness, or questions about life purpose.
Her work includes addressing attachment and communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, jealousy, and recovery after infidelity. She helps people who struggle with panic attacks, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and coping with major life changes. Tanea aims to create a calm, compassionate space for the work.
She supports people as they build new coping skills, improve relationships, and move toward clearer goals.

Online support options
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It emphasizes empathy and building a supportive space so people can describe what feels most important to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thinking that lead to distress and teaches concrete techniques to change those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing overwhelming emotions and improving emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which methods to prioritize. That plan can shift over time as needs change and progress is tracked together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and messaging make brief check-ins and skill coaching possible between sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different day-to-day circumstances.
