Tanya Henderson

Tanya Henderson is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and concerns related to LGBT identity. She also supports work on self-esteem, confidence, motivation, and career challenges. Tanya presents herself as compassionate and respectful, and she aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs.

She uses a conversational, person-centered style that keeps things practical. Tanya listens first, then helps set small, achievable steps. Sessions often focus on what feels most urgent, whether that is coping after a loss or handling pressure at work.

Tanya draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify thought patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. She combines those tools with mindfulness practices to help people stay grounded in the present moment. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when clients want clear goals and action plans.

Her approach is collaborative. She partners with clients to build a plan that fits daily life and personal values. That plan can include short-term problem solving or deeper work over time depending on what the person needs.

Tanya has five years of professional experience and holds LCSW-C, which indicates clinical social work licensure in Maryland. She offers therapy in English and is familiar with issues around gender, sexuality, body image, and grief, including hospice and end-of-life counseling.

People who choose her often want straightforward guidance, practical coping strategies, and a calm space to talk things through.

Approaches for online grief and stress support

Tanya often uses client-centered methods that focus on what matters most to the person. That approach means sessions begin with listening and validation, and then the therapist and client shape the conversation around personal priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, workplace problems, and patterns that keep someone stuck. Mindfulness practices are used alongside other techniques to build attention and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods, and adjust based on what is helpful. Sessions are collaborative and flexible to match a person's needs, pace, and values.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and offer choices that match daily routines. A consultation can clarify how sessions will be structured and which methods will be used.
