About Tanya
Tanya Edwards is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of clinical experience based in Massachusetts. She works with adults dealing with grief, depression, low self-esteem, anger, career stresses, parenting strain, and life transitions. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Tanya uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage strong emotions and life changes. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and create clearer steps forward. She also uses Client-Centered principles to keep the work grounded in the person’s goals and values.
Emotionally-Focused ideas help when relationships or intense feelings are at the center of a problem. Mindfulness practices are offered to make strong moods easier to notice and ride out without escalating. Motivational Interviewing supports making changes when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps.
Tanya describes her style as strengths-oriented and collaborative. She works with clients to set realistic goals and to test simple changes between sessions. Expect straightforward conversations, practical strategies, and attention to culture and life context as part of the work.
She also helps with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, body image, family of origin issues, end-of-life and hospice matters, infidelity, midlife questions, multicultural concerns, and prejudice and discrimination. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Tanya commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on recognizing thought and behavior patterns that increase distress and then testing small, practical experiments to change them. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, attention to your goals, and adapting the pace and focus to what matters to you.She also uses Emotionally-Focused ideas when feelings and close relationships are central to a problem. That approach helps identify interaction patterns and create different emotional responses so conversations feel less reactive and more useful.
Finding the right method is part of the process. Tanya works collaboratively to determine which approaches fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming a single method will be best.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose less image-focused ways of connecting if that helps. Licensed professionals adapt tools and homework to daily life so strategies can be practiced between meetings.
