About Tanya

Tanya DiGeronimo is a Florida licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and low self-esteem. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit into daily life, not long lectures or jargon.

Parents and caregivers often appreciate her straightforward, steady style when life feels overwhelming. With 19 years of experience, Tanya blends several proven approaches to meet real needs.

Background and approach

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person’s pace and priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and build skills that make a visible difference quickly. Her work also addresses anger, intimacy-related concerns, coping with life changes, and workplace stress.

Tanya pays attention to issues like attachment, caregiver burden, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. She supports people wrestling with guilt, shame, and forgiveness while encouraging healthier communication habits. Sessions are practical and collaborative.

Tanya helps clients make small, concrete changes that add up over time. She explains tools clearly and practices new skills together during sessions. Tanya holds the Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential - LMHC - and practices from Florida.

Conversations are conducted in English and she brings nearly two decades of clinical experience to each meeting.

How Tanya’s approaches translate to online therapy

Tanya uses Client-Centered Therapy to put the client’s priorities first, creating space to tell their story and set the pace. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the work by the issues they bring up.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and changing habits that get in the way of parenting or daily routines.

Solution-Focused Therapy is used when clients want quick, practical progress. Sessions focus on clear, short-term goals and small steps clients can try between meetings to see real changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya will talk about options and help decide what fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as priorities change.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone offers flexibility, and chat or text can be handy for brief check-ins or practicing tools between sessions. These options expand access and let clients pick what feels most helpful for their routine.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
