How Tanya works

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Tanya commonly draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques during online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following each person's priorities, which helps when sorting through values, identity, and tough choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, and uses small experiments to reduce anxiety and change habits.She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice stress and respond differently to strong emotions. Mindfulness exercises can be short and practical, useful for reducing rumination or panicked thinking between sessions. Choosing an approach is collaborative - Tanya talks with the person about goals, tries methods that fit their needs, and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for richer dialogue and visual cues, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people stay connected between sessions and handle brief check-ins or homework. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep building skills consistently.
