How Tanya’s approaches work in online sessions
Tanya commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on noticing thinking patterns and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. ACT helps people clarify values and take actions that match what matters to them, even when difficult feelings are present.She also brings client-centered principles to remote sessions, which means listening closely and working together to set practical goals. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking.
