Dr. Tanya Harrell

Dr. Tanya Harrell is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who focuses on helping people navigate grief, stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. She draws on human-centered ways of working to help clients find meaning and move toward what matters to them. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at practical steps that ease daily struggles.

With seven years of clinical experience, she has supported people facing trauma, domestic violence, and loss. Her background includes counseling adults and children and working with homeless families and caregivers. Those experiences shaped a straightforward, accepting approach to care.

Her work often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice thoughts and choose values-driven action. Attachment-based ideas also inform how she looks at relationship patterns and caregiver stress. Sessions focus on simple tools, clearer thinking, and better ways to cope day to day.

Dr. Harrell pays attention to each person’s story and perspective. She aims to meet people where they are and tailor steps that match their goals. The relationship between counselor and client is central to how she helps people heal and grow.

She practices in Louisiana and offers services in English. Her approach is practical and compassionate, with attention to real-life problems like parenting strain, caregiving stress, eating and sleeping concerns, addiction, and grief related to loss and end-of-life matters.

How her approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for grief, anxiety, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skill-building to change behavior and mood, which can help with depression, sleeping and eating concerns, and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether ACT, CBT, or attachment-based ideas fit best. That decision is based on your goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions rather than a fixed plan up front.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to check in between appointments. Others like working remotely because it can make it easier to schedule sessions around caregiving, work, or medical appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to remote sessions so the work remains focused and practical.
