About Tanya

Tanya Lorenzi is a Licensed Professional Counselor who draws on practical, action-oriented methods to help people move forward. She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach tools for managing stress, anxiety, and mood struggles. Tanya focuses on real-life problems such as parenting, relationship conflicts, intimacy issues, and life transitions.

She brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work in Georgia. Tanya aims for short, clear steps you can try between sessions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes small changes in thinking and behavior that lead to better day-to-day functioning. For couples, she applies parts of the Gottman Method to improve communication and repair patterns that cause repeated fights. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change. <brHer background includes a long personal path that shaped her interest in counseling.

That experience informs a practical, empathetic approach in sessions. Tanya keeps language simple and focuses on what can be done now. She meets people where they are and builds a plan based on their goals.

In therapy she addresses concerns such as depression, bipolar mood shifts, panic attacks, trauma and abuse, and personality-related struggles. She also works with parents around parenting challenges, family problems, and impulsivity. Tanya includes support for LGBT issues, self-esteem, and social anxiety.

Tanya holds the LPC credential and maintains licensure in Georgia. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients for online work. Her practice offers multiple remote formats to fit busy schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit family life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, parenting strain, and life changes because it emphasizes practical steps rather than getting stuck on feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT often helps with panic attacks, mood problems, and social anxiety by breaking problems into smaller, solvable pieces.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to fit sessions into family schedules. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions let someone talk from anywhere, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help people keep continuity of care while juggling parenting, work, and travel.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
