About Tanya
Tanya Wood is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She focuses on practical therapy for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. Tanya aims to make therapy clear and usable for people juggling life changes and daily pressures.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods to listen deeply and build trust. Tanya blends that with cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and with solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals.
How Tanya works
She has seven years of clinical experience working with people facing loss, caregiving strain, health challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and problems tied to communication or commitment. Tanya also helps people coping with chronic pain, illness, or the fallout from separation and domestic violence. Sessions combine skill-building and practical problem solving.
Clients learn emotional regulation techniques from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and trauma-informed practices when past harm affects daily life. Tanya emphasizes short-term steps that can make routines feel more manageable. She offers services in English and Spanish and is open to working with people internationally.
Tanya describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals guide the work. Her focus is on steady progress and real-world coping tools.

Practical approaches for online therapy and coping skills
Client-centered therapy starts by focusing on the person’s experience and goals. The therapist listens without judgment and helps the client name what matters most, which is useful for stress, relationship issues, and transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Through CBT, clients learn to identify unhelpful thinking and try different actions to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are helpful when emotions feel intense or when relationships suffer from repeated conflicts.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Tanya will discuss options and tailor methods to a person’s goals and preferences. She works collaboratively to try strategies, adapt them, and focus on what brings relief and better day-to-day functioning.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat and text let people check in between longer appointments. This flexibility helps people keep therapy steady while managing work, caregiving, or health constraints.
