About Tanya

Tanya Wood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career questions, and other life changes.

Tanya focuses on straightforward conversations about what is happening now and practical skills you can use soon after a session. She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, test thoughts, and practice different responses to stressful situations. She also uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused methods to help people identify goals and the next small steps toward them.

Her background includes supporting people coping with abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, blended family concerns, chronic illness and caregiving stress, and recovery after domestic violence or divorce. She talks through problem areas like communication, commitment and control issues and supports people dealing with cancer, aging, or grief.

Sessions aim to combine practical skills with space to talk through difficult memories and current struggles. Tanya works in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients for remote work. She explains therapeutic tools plainly and helps people choose which ones feel useful.

People can expect short-term skill-building or longer-term work depending on their goals. The focus is on clear steps, measurable coping strategies, and improving everyday functioning rather than jargon or abstract theory.

Approach and what online sessions involve

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people clarify what matters to them; it supports work on self-esteem, relationships, and finding personal direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic experiences through paced, evidence-informed methods to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tanya collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will recommend a starting approach and adjust it as sessions reveal what helps most, keeping the plan flexible and goal-oriented.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from appointments. Working remotely also lets people maintain continuity if they move or travel, while the therapist and client focus on practical skills, communication patterns, and coping strategies that carry over into everyday life.
