About Tanya
Tanya Baker is a licensed mental health counselor with 22 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Tanya focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day life.
She helps people facing career questions and major life changes. She also supports those working through panic, mood concerns, and the emotional impacts of trauma. Tanya pays attention to how shame, guilt, control issues, and feelings of isolation get in the way of feeling OK.
How Tanya works
In sessions she listens closely and helps people name what matters most to them. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at building skills people can use between meetings. She encourages small experiments that test new ways of coping and relating to difficult thoughts or feelings.
Tanya has worked with people affected by military service and veterans’ issues, and she understands how that background can shape mood and relationships. She also addresses questions around sexuality, self-love, and women’s issues with directness and respect. Her practice offers flexible session types, so people can pick the format that fits their life.
She accepts English-speaking clients in Indiana and also works with international clients by remote session formats.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Tanya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and panic by practicing breathing, grounding, and behavior changes; this is useful for panic attacks and intense worry. Another approach emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and patterns so people can reduce low mood and boost self-esteem; it focuses on concrete thinking and behavior changes that can be practiced between sessions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Tanya will work with each person to see which methods fit their concerns, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most and invites feedback at every step.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when that is helpful. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, or when scheduling needs more flexibility. These options help people access care from different locations and at different times.
