About Tanya

Tanya Hill is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She listens without judgment and aims to make sessions feel calm and straightforward. Many clients seek her support for parenting challenges, intimacy-related worries, sleep problems, anger, and coping with life changes.

Her style is warm and practical. Tanya uses plain language and focuses on steps people can try between sessions.

Background and approach

She blends client-centered listening with skills-based tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work are also part of her toolbox when clients want clear, short-term goals. Tanya holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and is licensed in Florida.

Her background includes work with LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress. She also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and intellectual disability. Sessions are offered in English and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. International clients are not currently accepted. Taking the first step often feels hard.

Tanya helps people clarify what matters to them and shapes therapy around their needs. She encourages practical changes and steady progress over time.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building trust so clients feel heard and understood; it helps people clarify what matters and set goals that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and help with sleep issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, which can be useful for anger, intimacy concerns, and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video is not convenient, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care while traveling within the therapist's permitted regions, and use different formats as needs shift over time.

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.
