About Tanya
Tanya Edwards uses a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and holds LICSW, LCSW, and CSW credentials. Tanya speaks English and offers sessions to people in Massachusetts and internationally.
She works to make the first conversations direct and understandable so parents and caregivers can decide what comes next. Tanya centers sessions on what matters most to each person. She draws on client-centered work to follow a person's priorities, and on cognitive-behavioral methods to spot thought and behavior patterns that get in the way.
How Tanya works
She also uses emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness practices to help with strong feelings and stress. People come to Tanya for grief, depression, self-esteem, and coping with big life changes. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiving strain, career strain, relationship and family challenges, parenting stress, anger, and issues around aging and end-of-life care.
Additional focuses include body image, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and women's issues. Tanya describes her style as collaborative and strengths-focused. Sessions are aimed at finding practical changes and clearer choices rather than long explanations.
She prefers simple, steady steps and checks in frequently about what is and is not helping. Therapy sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair a person with Tanya and schedule the first session.

Online support options
Approaches you can use online
Client-centered work focuses on following a person's lead and building on their strengths. It helps people clarify what matters most and guides decisions at whatever pace feels right. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses short, practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Emotionally-focused ideas help people name and move through strong feelings, which can ease relationship strain and personal distress.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try a few methods when needed, and check in about what feels helpful. Changes are guided by your experience and preferences rather than a fixed plan.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or to fit a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, note-taking, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
