About Tanya
Tanya Richmond is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and major life changes. She focuses on practical coping skills and on supporting people who face compassion fatigue, trauma, career questions, aging concerns, caregiving strain, and end-of-life issues.
Tanya uses a calm, person-centered way of working that puts each person's priorities first. Tanya listens closely to learn what matters to the person sitting across from her.
How Tanya works
Sessions are tailored to the individual's needs rather than a fixed formula. She mixes mindfulness practices, breathing techniques, and reflective conversation to help people notice what helps them feel steadier and more able to act. Her work often includes short, focused goal-setting and solution-focused steps when someone wants concrete change.
Tanya also draws on trauma-focused approaches when past events still cause distress, and on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking patterns that get in the way. Practical supports such as guided meditation, simple breath work, and pacing plans for caregiving or end-of-life tasks are common parts of her sessions.
Tanya emphasizes dignity and respect, and she avoids treating people as labels or problems to fix. She invites people who are seeking more purpose, clearer decisions, or relief from ongoing worry to talk through next steps. Tanya aims to support, empower, and help clients build skills they can use outside of sessions.

Online support options
Approaches that fit online work and everyday life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and guides steps based on their values and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and tests small changes in thoughts and behavior to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and improve focus in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose and adjust methods based on the person's goals, preferences, and responses. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and shifting course when needed so the plan matches real life.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible ways to connect. Video works well for conversations and guided breathing practice, phone is helpful when bandwidth is low, live chat makes shorter check-ins possible, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving, work, or mobility needs while keeping focus on progress and practical skills.
