About Tanya
Tanya Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She supports those facing life transitions, parenting strain, sleep problems, intimacy issues, and mood challenges. Tanya also works with people handling trauma, identity concerns in the LGBT community, and illness-related distress.
Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions are straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps set small, manageable goals.
Background and approach
She uses humor at times and can be more directive when someone needs clear steps. Tanya draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. She also blends natural and holistic ideas when they fit a person’s needs.
The focus is on what helps someone feel better in day-to-day life. She aims to match the treatment to the person rather than force a single method. That means plans are shaped around each person’s goals and situation.
Tanya encourages steady progress through doable changes. With two decades of practice in California, she brings experience with a wide range of concerns. People often seek her out for help managing guilt, loneliness, life purpose questions, midlife shifts, and issues related to women’s health and young adulthood.
She offers clear talk and practical steps to move forward.
How CBT and online options work together
Tanya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that get in the way of feeling better. CBT focuses on clear steps and skills you can practice between sessions, which makes it effective for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing mood swings.She pairs CBT with a person-centered approach that adapts to each individual. That means she will work together with the client to choose which methods make the most sense. The goal is to match tools to needs so people can try approaches and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls let you work face-to-face, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family, or school commitments while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
