About Tanya

Tanya L. Tibby is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of clinical and leadership experience in Florida. She uses a warm, relaxed style and focuses on practical steps parents and caregivers can use to handle stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, and relationship problems.

Tanya aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity while avoiding stigmatizing labels. She helps people who have faced trauma and abuse, and she offers support for depression, grief, addictions, mood disorders, and coping with major life changes.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses issues like self-esteem, career confusion, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Tanya pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns affect current life. Tanya blends several therapy methods to meet each person where they are.

She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship dynamics and history. She also uses client-centered listening to make space for the client's goals and values.

She tailors sessions to each person rather than following one fixed plan. Conversations focus on practical tools, clearer communication, and steps people can try between sessions. That approach helps clients move toward better daily routines and healthier relationships.

Tanya works in Florida as an LCSW, license FL LCSW SW9051, and provides services in English. She does not accept international clients. The starting step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Therapy Approaches and Online Access

Tanya commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change stressful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and helps people change how they relate to others and manage relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya listens to the clients needs, goals, and preferences and then suggests methods that fit. She adjusts the plan over time so the approach stays useful and relevant to what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats let people fit sessions into busy family schedules, check in between appointments, and choose what feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can use these tools to offer consistent, focused help while working collaboratively with each client.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
