About Tanya
Tanya Kennedy is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota with 21 years of experience. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, addictions, and low self-esteem. She also pays attention to multicultural concerns and how culture shapes feelings and choices.
Her sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversation. Tanya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person's concerns. Sessions aim to identify patterns, try small experiments, and pick strategies that fit day-to-day life.
She listens for how cultural background affects symptoms and coping. That may mean discussing family expectations, community pressures, or identity-related stress. The goal is to make strategies realistic within a client's context rather than give one-size-fits-all advice.
Tanya often works on building routines, breaking cycles that feed anxiety or addiction, and strengthening self-esteem with small, achievable steps. She prefers concrete tools people can practice between sessions and then review together.
People who choose her typically want direct, practical help and straightforward ways to track progress. The work is collaborative: goals are clear, and skill practice is part of most sessions.
Using CBT and Client-Centered Work in Online Sessions
Tanya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding. CBT sessions often include clear goals, short exercises, and homework to try between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy is used to keep the conversation focused on the client's priorities and to make sure practical options come from the client's own experience.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She treats approach selection as collaborative and reviews what is working as therapy progresses. Clients and therapist set goals together and pick strategies based on needs, preferences, and what proves useful in practice.
