About Tanya
Tanya Edwards is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who brings 15 years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on parenting concerns alongside grief, depression, self-esteem, and life transitions. Tanya offers straightforward support for people juggling caregiving, career shifts, and emotional burnout.
She uses approaches that help people make practical changes and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood.
Background and approach
She also draws on Client-Centered methods that prioritize the person’s experience and choices. Tanya helps people talk through relationship strain, anger, and the stress of caregiving. She also supports those facing end-of-life planning, bereavement, and issues around aging.
Many clients come with concerns about identity, body image, and prejudice or discrimination, and she brings attention to cultural context in those conversations. Her style is collaborative and strengths-focused. Tanya aims to help people identify small, doable steps that reduce overwhelm.
She prefers short, clear goals and practical tools people can use between sessions. Tanya practices in Massachusetts and works with people in English. She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s routine.

How Tanya Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Tanya commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to improve mood and coping. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting back what matters to the person so goals grow from their own values and experience.She also uses Emotionally-Focused ideas when feelings and attachment show up in relationships or parenting conversations. That approach helps name emotions and strengthen the way someone connects with others, which can be useful when grief, anger, or caregiving stress affect daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans if something isn’t working so the client stays involved in choosing the path forward.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow a full conversation similar to an office visit. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for quieter check-ins. Live chat and messaging offer shorter, flexible check-ins between longer sessions and can fit into busy days.
