About Tanya
Tanya Wood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship concerns, family and parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and life changes. She offers therapy in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Tanya uses straightforward, practical sessions. She focuses on what is happening now and what changes a person can try between meetings. Conversations often include setting small goals, practicing skills, and checking what helped or didn’t help. The work is direct and action oriented without pressure to move faster than a person can handle.
Clients who bring trauma or loss can expect a steady pace and approaches that focus on safety and coping. For people dealing with anger or relationship strain, sessions lean toward learning new ways to notice triggers, manage reactions, and repair conflict. For anxiety or depression, the emphasis is on clear tools for thinking and behavior that reduce daytime interference.
Tanya draws on Client-Centered ideas alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused methods, and Trauma-Focused work. She explains each step in plain language and helps people apply techniques to everyday situations. Progress is measured in practical changes like fewer blow-ups, clearer communication, or more reliable routines.
Her background includes supporting people through abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and major life transitions. Sessions combine skill practice, problem solving, and direct conversation about what’s getting in the way of living the way someone wants.
How Tanya uses practical therapies online
Tanya often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and on trying experiments that change those patterns. DBT teaches concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication, which can be useful when anger feels overwhelming.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters to the individual. That means she collaborates with clients to choose which tools to try first and adjusts the plan based on what works. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process guided by a person's goals and everyday challenges.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking since they are not specified here. Many people find that virtual sessions fit into workdays, reduce travel time, and make it easier to move quickly from a check-in to practical skill work. Phone options can mean lower bandwidth and a shorter check-in when time is tight, while video allows for role-play and visible cues. The therapist will help choose how to structure sessions so they fit into daily life and support steady practice of new skills.
