About Tanya
Tanya Edwards is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of practice. She works with grief, depression, self-esteem struggles, caregiving stress, and life changes. Tanya also addresses relationship strain, parenting concerns, anger, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
She relies on practical, evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered work to help people notice thoughts and try different responses. Sessions focus on clear steps people can take between meetings, like testing new coping skills or changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Tanya also uses emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness tools to help people name feelings and manage strong moments. Motivational interviewing and narrative approaches are part of her toolkit when people need help clarifying values or reworking personal stories that keep them stuck.
Her style emphasizes collaboration. She works together with each person to set realistic goals and track progress. That usually means short, concrete experiments, homework, and plain conversation about what helps and what doesn't.
Tanya has experience supporting people through aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, family of origin patterns, multicultural stress, and discrimination. She also helps with body image, life purpose, infidelity, and midlife transitions.
Sessions are provided in English and she accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Tanya’s approaches translate to online work
She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and to set small, testable changes. CBT is practical and suits concerns like depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and supporting the person’s own problem-solving and goals.Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when feelings and attachment-related reactions are central. EFT helps people name emotional responses, understand triggers, and practice new ways of responding in relationships and personal situations. Together these approaches give concrete skills, emotion awareness, and purposeful reflection.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. Tanya will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily routines. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan based on real-world results.
The therapist biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use audio-only if video is difficult. Ask about the exact session formats offered when scheduling.
