About Tanya

Tanya Edwards is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Wisconsin. She brings three years of experience supporting people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, and major life changes. Tanya aims to make the first step toward help feel manageable and clear for anyone reaching out.

Tanya keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens carefully, helps people name what matters most, and works with them to set small, doable goals.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change in daily life. Her approach draws from several methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.

Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes each person’s perspective and pace. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck and want to find their own reasons to change. Tanya also uses solution-focused and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the work.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps toward immediate concerns. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from the past that can affect current feelings and relationships. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users select Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Tanya’s Approaches Work Online

Tanya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy as core tools in online work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then testing small changes to see what helps. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening closely and following the client’s pace and priorities to build trust and clarity.

Choosing the right approach is a shared decision. Tanya will talk with each person about their goals, what has or hasn’t helped before, and which methods feel most comfortable. Over the first sessions she adjusts the plan so it fits the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, to check in between meetings, or to use the format that feels safest and most convenient. Licensed professionals can use these tools to keep work consistent and focused on the practical steps clients want to take.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
