About Tanaya
Tanaya Reid is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on clear, practical help for people facing major life changes. She offers calm, direct support for relationship strains, grief, and questions about identity. Tanaya works with people who identify as LGBT and those coping with transitions that feel overwhelming.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients name what’s hard and make small, steady changes. Sessions are collaborative - she listens, reflects, and suggests concrete steps clients can try between visits.
Background and approach
The pace depends on each person’s needs and capacity. Tanaya emphasizes cultural responsiveness and respect for identity. She helps people sort through relationship patterns, manage grief, and plan next steps after big life events.
Conversations are guided by what the client wants to address most urgently. Over three years of clinical practice, Tanaya has focused on building skills that make day-to-day life more manageable. That can mean practicing communication skills, building coping tools, or deciding on practical changes.
Progress is tracked in real terms, such as fewer arguments, better routines, or clearer decisions. She holds a California LCSW license and provides services in English. New clients begin by choosing a session format that fits their schedule and goals.
Tanaya aims to make each visit productive and focused on real-world outcomes.
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Tanaya draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to work through grief and life transitions. One common approach focuses on building coping skills - teaching concrete ways to manage strong emotions, reduce overwhelm, and handle daily stressors. This helps when grief or change makes routine tasks feel difficult.She also uses methods that strengthen communication and relationship patterns. These techniques help people notice unhelpful interaction habits, practice clearer boundaries, and try new ways of speaking that reduce conflict. That kind of work is useful for relationship strain and family-related stress.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Tanaya discusses goals and options during early sessions, then adjusts methods based on what feels useful. Clients and therapist make decisions together about pacing, homework, and which skills to prioritize.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or busy days. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins or brief skill practice possible between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into real life while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
