About Tanya
Tanya L. Tibby is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of clinical and leadership experience in Florida. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns.
Tanya also helps those coping with trauma, addiction, grief, mood challenges, and life changes. Her style is warm and relaxed, and she aims to treat each person with respect and compassion. Sessions are shaped around the person in front of her rather than a strict formula.
Background and approach
Tanya blends approaches to match what a client needs in the moment. She often uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships affect current problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy elements help people identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Client-centered and motivational strategies guide conversations so clients feel heard and find their own motivation for change. Tanya has worked with a wide range of concerns including bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and chronic illness. She also addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, abandonment and control issues, and challenges related to forgiveness, guilt, and shame.
Over 20 years she has supported people through career stress, midlife crises, and finding life purpose. Her goal is to partner with clients to build coping skills and clearer choices so daily life feels easier to manage.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses; it can help people understand trust, closeness, and fear of abandonment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the persons experience, using empathy and nonjudgmental listening to help people find their own answers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match goals and preferences. She adjusts the mix of approaches over time based on what helps most, so treatment feels practical and focused on daily life improvements.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets you work face to face from wherever you are; phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Text and chat are useful for short check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing over talking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep therapy consistent during work, travel, or caregiving demands.
