About Tania
Tania Yackle is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting concerns. She welcomes people who are dealing with major life changes and need steady, practical support.
She draws on long experience in clinical, inpatient, outpatient, and educational settings. That background gives her a sense of what helps in different situations. Sessions start by hearing where someone is now and what feels most urgent.
Background and approach
Tania offers listening, clear guidance, and hands-on strategies people can use between sessions. She helps clients break large problems into small, manageable steps. The goal is better day-to-day coping and more confidence in handling hard moments.
Many clients ask for help during transitions like becoming a parent, moving through midlife, adjusting to an empty nest, or taking on caregiving responsibilities. Tania focuses on practical tools to reduce overwhelm and build routines that support emotional health. Her style is direct and compassionate.
She aims to create a calm space for honest talk and planning. Tania works with each client to set realistic goals and track progress over time.

Evidence-based approaches and online convenience
Many of Tania's methods focus on practical, evidence-based techniques that help people manage symptoms and build routines that support emotional health. Cognitive-style approaches teach skills to recognize unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with balanced alternatives; these strategies can reduce anxiety and low mood by changing how people respond to stressful thoughts. Behavioral techniques focus on small, actionable steps - activity planning, sleep habit changes, and gradual exposure to feared situations - to rebuild confidence and lower avoidance.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Tania collaborates with each client to choose techniques that fit their goals, daily life, and comfort level. She adjusts methods over time as progress and needs change, so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth sessions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, and follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around parenting duties, work, and other obligations.
