About Tanya
Tanya Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting pressures, career challenges, and mood issues including bipolar disorder.
Tanya also works with issues related to trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, and life transitions like midlife shifts and finding purpose. Her approach is warm and interactive.
How Tanya works
She listens first, then uses practical tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and integrates natural, holistic ideas when they fit. Sessions can be gentle or more directive depending on what each person needs. Humor is used sometimes to bring perspective and reduce tension.
Tanya aims to match the method to the person rather than force a single style on everyone. She focuses on concrete steps people can try between meetings, such as simple changes in thinking and behavior that make daily life easier. Work on goals is done together, at a pace that feels manageable.
Over two decades in practice, Tanya has supported people dealing with loss, cancer-related concerns, guilt and shame, loneliness, self-esteem and self-love, and challenges common to young adults and women. Her years of experience inform a steady, practical way of helping people find clearer choices. She invites people to take the first step and offers steady guidance along the way.

How CBT and Online Sessions Work Together
The core approach Tanya uses is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical alternatives. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and managing mood challenges.Tanya also blends practical, holistic ideas when they fit each person. That might mean introducing simple lifestyle or self-care changes alongside CBT exercises to support mood, energy, and coping after loss or during illness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya collaborates with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options openly and adjusts methods over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth sessions where visual cues help. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping continuity of care.
