About Tanya
Tanya Carcamo is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 13 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She frames the work around each person's strengths and practical steps. Tanya speaks English and sees clients from California via online formats.
Her style is straightforward and supportive. She says people already hold important knowledge about their lives and brings tools to help them use those strengths.
How Tanya works
Sessions focus on clear goals, small changes that build confidence, and support through difficult emotions like shame, guilt, or isolation. Tanya helps people who struggle with communication problems, social anxiety, feelings of loneliness, or questions about life purpose and self-love. She also offers help around forgiveness and processing loss.
Conversations are paced to fit each person, with attention to what feels doable in day-to-day life. Over the years she has worked with a wide range of concerns and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment choices. Tanya aims to empower people rather than tell them what to do, and she emphasizes collaboration when deciding next steps.
She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works with the therapist's availability.

Approaches that guide online care
Tanya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address concerns such as anxiety, trauma, grief, and low self-esteem. One approach focuses on skill building for managing stress and anxiety through practical strategies that reduce overwhelm and improve daily coping. A second approach centers on processing difficult experiences and painful emotions so people can move forward from trauma, loss, or persistent shame.Choosing the right method is a team effort. She works with each person to understand their goals and preferences, then adapts techniques to fit their needs. The plan can change as progress happens so clients remain involved in deciding what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation when it's helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Chat and text messaging can fit quick updates, brief reflections, or moments when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and find a format that suits their routine.
