How Tanya Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Tanya integrates client-centered work and mindfulness practices to help people manage grief, stress, and the demands of caregiving. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, which can help clarify goals and values. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple breathing and meditation techniques to reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that increase distress. CBT offers practical tools to test unhelpful beliefs and try small behavior changes that can ease symptoms and build confidence. Tanya frames these approaches collaboratively and will work with each person to decide what fits best for their goals and situation.
