About Tanya
Tanya Wood is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses a practical, person-focused style. She centers sessions on what a person needs right now. Tanya listens, reflects, and helps people build small, useful skills to feel better and manage stress.
Her work often addresses anxiety and depression. She also helps people who are coping with trauma, grief, and major life changes. Tanya places attention on relationships, parenting, and family concerns as part of everyday life challenges.
Background and approach
Tanya combines tried-and-true therapies with a warm, down-to-earth approach. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change troubling thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to make space for a person’s values and pace.
With seven years of professional experience, Tanya also brings tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy when useful. These methods help with emotion regulation and finding practical steps forward. She adapts techniques to the needs a person brings to the room.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and conducted from Texas. Tanya works with people on concerns such as parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with illness or caregiver stress. Her aim is to help each person find clear, manageable ways to move forward.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and follows the client’s pace to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and steady, individualized support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions affect each other. It uses practical exercises to change thinking patterns and develop coping skills. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Tanya will work with each person to figure out what mix of approaches fits best. She discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That collaboration helps shape sessions so they stay focused and useful. Online therapy offers real flexibility. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face contact from home. Phone, live chat, and text-based messaging provide other ways to connect when schedules are tight or when shorter check-ins feel more useful. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to practice skills between sessions.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.
