About Tanya
Tanya Richmond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 26 years of practice. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, caregiving strain, compassion fatigue, trauma, and questions about meaning and purpose. Her approach aims to be warm, respectful, and practical for everyday life.
Tanya listens first to understand what matters to each person. She uses client-centered skills and tailors sessions to individual needs instead of relying on labels. Sessions can include mindfulness practices such as guided breathing and meditation to help calm the body and clarify thinking.
Her work often focuses on caregiving challenges, aging and geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life issues, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Tanya also supports people wrestling with self-esteem, life changes, isolation, and career questions. She helps people think through next steps and daily strategies that make life more manageable.
Tanya describes her style as reflective and engaging. She offers practical tools alongside empathic listening, and she values dignity and respect in every conversation. Techniques from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches are used when they fit the person's goals.
People who meet with her can expect a collaborative process that balances short-term problem solving with deeper reflection. The focus is on what the individual wants to change and on building small, achievable steps toward those goals.
How approaches like client-centered care and CBT help online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting you where you are. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters to you, and helps you find your own solutions. This style is useful for grief, caregiving strain, and questions about life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them. It can help with anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem by offering step-by-step tools to try between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy brings simple breathing and guided attention practices into sessions to reduce reactivity and ground thinking. These practices are often helpful for trauma-related symptoms, stress, and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Decisions about techniques are made collaboratively, and the plan can change as needs change.
