About Tania

Tania Patricca is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress and anxiety. She brings a practical, calm approach so parents and family members can find clearer ways to communicate and cope. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping people feel less overwhelmed and more able to manage daily demands.

Her style centers on listening first and then building useful skills.

Background and approach

She believes people know their stories and uses that knowledge to guide the work. Sessions often move from talking through what’s hard to practicing tools that reduce emotional distress. Over 27 years of practice, she has supported people facing trauma, abuse, grief, depression, anger, and compassion fatigue.

She also works with issues such as attachment struggles, dissociation, panic attacks, and social anxiety. The goal is to reduce suffering and increase connection at home and in relationships. Tania uses several therapy methods to meet different needs.

She draws on client-centered therapy to follow what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. Mindfulness and DBT skills provide ways to manage intense emotions.

Getting started involves a short matching process and scheduling. Tania values practical steps, clear communication, and steady progress toward goals that matter to each family.

How her approaches shape online family and parenting support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. It helps families name what matters most and guides the work around real-life goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and provides clear tools to change them. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that affect family interactions. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills that can reduce reactivity during tense moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps most. The process is collaborative - clients’ needs and preferences shape which tools are used and how they are practiced between sessions.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to use therapy from home. Video and phone sessions allow real-time conversation, while chat and messaging can support quick check-ins and ongoing practice of skills between meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
