Tanya Edwards

Tanya Edwards is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on grief, depression, self-esteem, and life transitions. She guides people through major changes and the stress that comes with caregiving and career shifts. Tanya draws on 15 years of clinical experience and emphasizes a collaborative, strength-based way of working.

In sessions she listens first to understand what matters most to each person. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches alongside narrative and mindfulness practices. Tanya helps people name difficult emotions, test unhelpful thoughts, and build small habits that improve day-to-day functioning.

Her practice includes support for parenting strains, relationship and communication problems, and issues that arise with aging or caregiving. Tanya also works with people facing hospice and end-of-life counseling concerns, helping them and their loved ones talk through priorities and plan next steps.

She aims to create a steady, respectful space where clients can explore loss, anger, and questions of identity or purpose. Sessions focus on doable strategies and on helping people reconnect with strengths they may have forgotten.

Across her work Tanya centers cultural awareness and practical problem solving. She offers a mix of therapeutic styles tailored to each person’s goals and comfort. To begin, she asks questions about current struggles and what a better week would look like.

How Tanya’s approaches translate to online therapy

Tanya integrates client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused ideas to guide change. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can clarify their goals. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to improve mood and daily routines. Emotionally-focused ideas help people name and track powerful feelings so they can be processed and discussed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya will review a person’s goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before choosing tools. She treats this as a collaboration, adjusting methods as needed to match what the client wants to try.

Confirm the current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed in the profile. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time for people juggling caregiving or work. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively over distance, and Tanya will help tailor sessions to practical life constraints and goals.
