About Taniyah

Taniyah Abdulbarr, MD, LCPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or depression. She offers a steady, practical presence for people looking to improve communication, cope with social anxiety, and find more purpose in daily life. She focuses on building self-love and clearer communication skills.

Sessions tend to be straightforward, with an emphasis on small, usable changes people can try between meetings. Her style is compassionate and goal-oriented rather than overly technical.

Background and approach

With four years of clinical experience, she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address relationship concerns, feelings of abandonment, and the struggle to forgive or move forward. She helps clients notice patterns that get in the way and practices new ways of responding to them. Taniyah provides a space where clients can name painful experiences and start working toward new habits.

She pays attention to each person’s story and collaborates on steps that match their life and values. The work combines emotional reflection with practical skills to manage symptoms and improve interactions. Practicing in Maryland, she offers help through a mix of session styles to suit busy lives.

People who want a focused, compassionate therapist for issues like family stress, relationship strain, or finding life purpose may find this approach helpful.

Using proven approaches in online therapy

Evidence-based techniques are at the center of treatment. One commonly used approach focuses on building practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings; it teaches breathing, pacing, and step-by-step behavioral changes to handle stressful moments. Another approach emphasizes communication and interpersonal work to improve how people express needs and resolve conflicts; it uses role practice and small experiments to change interaction patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily life, then recommend methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These formats let people fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work while traveling, or choose a way of talking that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in any of these formats, so progress continues even when meeting remotely.
