LCSW-C in Maryland - Stress and Anxiety
See online therapy optionsAbout Tanya
Tanya Henderson is an LCSW-C licensed in Maryland with five years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety and supports those dealing with LGBTQ+ related concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, and career difficulties.
Tanya uses clear, goal-focused sessions. She listens to what matters most and then works with the person to set short-term goals. Sessions include practical steps for coping, ways to notice unhelpful thoughts, and small experiments to try new habits between meetings.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and mindfulness practices to build moment-to-moment attention. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people break goals into manageable steps.
Typical topics she addresses include body image, communication problems, feelings of emptiness, gender dysphoria concerns, guilt and shame, and workplace stress. Tanya also supports people facing hospice and end-of-life matters and those dealing with isolation or social anxiety.
Sessions move at a practical pace. People will leave with concrete strategies to practice between sessions and check-ins on progress. The approach is straightforward: notice what isn't working, test a change, and review what helps next.
To start, she asks people to describe the immediate problem and a small goal for the first weeks. From there she and the client track progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Using CBT and Client-Centered Methods Online
Tanya often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try alternative responses. CBT sessions tend to include clear tasks and short experiments to practice between meetings, which can be tracked in online follow-ups.She also draws on client-centered methods that keep the conversation focused on the person's concerns and pace. Mindfulness practices are used to build attention to the present moment, useful for anxiety and stress management.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will collaborate with the person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, then adjust based on what is working. This discussion happens during initial sessions and is revisited as progress is reviewed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use phone or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult. These practical benefits help sessions fit into everyday life without promising a specific format.
