About Tanya

Tanya Younce is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with twenty years of experience. She offers calm, practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strains, parenting challenges, and big life changes. Her approach is direct and humane, aimed at helping someone regain a sense of balance and move forward.

She uses tools from multiple traditions to meet each person where they are. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and change them.

Background and approach

Attachment-Based methods look at how past relationships shape current reactions. Client-Centered Therapy creates space for a person to feel heard and respected as they make choices. Tanya trained at James Madison University for her bachelor’s degree in psychology and completed a master’s degree in clinical counseling at Xavier University in Cincinnati.

The Ohio LPCC credential (LPCC) reflects her licensure in the state and two decades of work in mental health settings. In sessions she aims to help people notice patterns, try new ways of relating, and build concrete coping skills. She can guide conversations about parenting stress, family conflicts, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and trauma or abuse history.

The focus is practical change and steady emotional growth. Therapy with Tanya moves at a real-world pace. She encourages honest talk, testing new behaviors, and learning clearer communication.

The goal is better functioning day to day and stronger resilience for whatever comes next.

How Tanya’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence present patterns and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves. It can be useful for concerns linked to trust, abandonment, and family problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often brings quicker relief for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person guides the work and the therapist offers empathic support.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Tanya will talk through what feels most relevant, try methods alongside the client, and adjust as needed based on goals and progress. That means the plan can shift if one way of working doesn’t fit or if new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions provide an option without video, and live chat or text-based messaging suit people who prefer shorter, written interactions. These formats can make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and daily responsibilities.

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.
