Remote sessions and therapeutic focus
Tanya provides online care using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to connect in the way that fits their communication style and daily life. She uses remote formats to hold regular sessions and to maintain continuity of care across different circumstances.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her toolkit, supporting exploration of personal values and building committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Descriptions of these approaches are offered here to clarify how sessions might be structured and what to expect from the work.
Tanya approaches remote collaboration in a client-centered way, tailoring dialogue and treatment plans to each person or family. Prospective clients can discuss which approach or combination of approaches best matches their needs during an initial conversation conducted via the chosen remote method.
