About Tanya

Tanya Wood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, parenting concerns, and family-of-origin issues. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.

Tanya focuses on practical strategies people can use between sessions. She uses evidence-informed approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and trauma-focused methods to help people manage strong emotions and recurring patterns. Conversations are straightforward and aim to clarify what keeps problems repeating in daily life.

Her background includes supporting people facing major life changes, caregiving strain, and health-related concerns such as chronic illness and cancer. She also works with attachment and abandonment questions, adoption and foster care issues, and blended family dynamics. These areas often intersect with stress, anger, and problems with communication.

Tanya integrates solution-focused tools and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. That can mean setting clear goals, practicing emotion regulation skills, and testing small behavioral changes to see what works. She encourages regular check-ins on progress and adjusts plans as needs shift.

Clients who contact her usually want to reduce distress, improve how they handle conflict, or change patterns rooted in childhood and family roles. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to outline goals and a plan.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can make sense of their feelings and choices; it helps with relationship patterns and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses experiments and skill practice to change patterns like anxiety or low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing past experiences and building coping skills to reduce the ways those memories shape daily reactions.

Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try different methods to see what fits best with the person's needs and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress or life circumstances change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a workday, keeping regular check-ins during life transitions, and practicing skills between appointments. If you need shorter check-ins, less screen time, or sessions that match a tight schedule, mention that when you complete the matching questionnaire so format and frequency can be discussed.
