About Tanya

Tanya Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on family life and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly with parents and caregivers, helping them find practical ways to ease conflict and build stronger connections at home. Tanya works with children, teens, young adults, and their families to improve everyday interactions and emotional coping.

Tanya uses therapies backed by research to guide sessions. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to match each family's needs.

Background and approach

Sessions often involve simple tools parents can try between meetings and step-by-step strategies for common problems. Parents come for help with anger, communication breakdowns, self-esteem, and boundary setting. She also addresses family of origin issues, control struggles, and feelings like guilt, shame, or isolation.

Tanya brings particular attention to parenting transitions and the unique pressures on youth and young adults. Her style is warm and straightforward. Conversations focus on what is useful right now and what small changes can make daily life smoother.

Tanya describes and models skills in plain terms so parents can practice them with children at home. She holds an LPC credential in New Jersey and has three years of clinical experience. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online approaches for family and parenting support

Online sessions often draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unproductive family patterns. CBT is useful for anger, self-esteem issues, and everyday stressors.

Person-Centered Therapy is another common approach. It centers on listening and reflecting so parents and teens feel heard and understood, which can ease conflict and open space for better communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with families about goals and preferences and then choose methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made over time to find what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls let families meet face to face from home, phone sessions work for short windows, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or skill practice between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside school, work, and family routines.
