Tanya Smith

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of South Carolina with over 10 years of experience working as a mentor, therapist, and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or adapting to life changes, online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person care for most situations.

A major benefit of online therapy is the flexibility it offers. Individuals can connect in the format that best fits their needs and comfort level – video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals provide online care, and if a different therapeutic match is preferred, clients can switch therapists at any time.
