About Tanya
Tanya Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in California with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. Tanya also helps with sleep problems, parenting stress, career questions, bipolar mood concerns, and life changes.
Her approach is practical and interactive. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying different ways of responding. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core method while also drawing on broader, person-focused ideas when useful. Tanya may be direct in offering strategies, and she sometimes uses light humor to make a point.
She prioritizes respect and sensitivity in sessions. Conversations look at patterns that keep problems going and test small behavioral changes to see what helps. She works with issues related to identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns, and addresses life stages such as midlife and young adulthood.
Tanya has worked across many settings over two decades and brings that practical experience into short-term and longer-term work. She encourages clear goals and regular check-ins so progress can be noticed and adjusted. People who want structured, skill-focused work tend to find this style helpful.

Using CBT approaches in online sessions
Tanya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought and behavior patterns that sustain problems. CBT sessions typically involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them in small experiments, and practicing new responses to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption.She also integrates practical, person-focused techniques to address stress and relationship concerns. These methods involve setting clear goals, trying brief behavioral changes between sessions, and reviewing what works and what does not. The process is collaborative and focused on finding useful strategies for each person.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will discuss goals and preferences with each client and adjust methods as needs evolve. Clients help choose whether to emphasize cognitive techniques, behavioral experiments, or practical problem-solving during therapy.
