About Tanya
Tanya Edwards is a licensed clinical social worker who combines practical tools with attentive listening. She focuses on depression, grief, self-esteem, and major life transitions. Tanya draws on 15 years of experience to help people figure out next steps and cope with change.

Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused ideas guide conversations about strong feelings and relationship struggles. Tanya also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life issues, and challenges tied to aging. She addresses career shifts, parenting strain, and problems that come from family of origin dynamics.
Concerns like body image, anger, and a sense of emptiness are included in her work. Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She helps people set clear, achievable goals and tries different ways to meet them.
Sessions tend to be practical, with room to talk about feelings and real-life solutions. Tanya is licensed in Massachusetts as LICSW and LCSW and brings a multicultural perspective to sessions. She offers work that respects people’s backgrounds and life stories.
Sessions are available in English and can include video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. People who want straightforward support for grief, depression, or life changes can expect a steady, goal-focused partner in therapy. Tanya works with each person to find approaches that fit their needs and daily life.
Blending practical therapies for online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection to help people clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build different behaviors that lead to better daily functioning. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Tanya will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then test methods that fit. She adapts techniques and checks in regularly to see what helps most, keeping the work collaborative and solution-focused.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, journaling support, or when people prefer writing to speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity during transitions.
