About Tanya
Tanya Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, grief, and relationship concerns. She works with individuals facing mood disorders, trauma, intimacy issues, and life transitions. Tanya aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people juggling busy lives.
Her style is warm and interactive. She talks plainly, uses gentle humor at times, and can be more direct when that helps move things forward.
Background and approach
Tanya believes treatment should match the person, not the other way around, and she blends practical tools with a holistic outlook. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. That approach pairs well with skills for sleep, stress management, and coping with major life events.
Tanya also brings attention to self-compassion, guilt and shame, and rebuilding purpose after loss or illness. Tanya has worked across a wide age range and across varied concerns such as parenting stress, career transitions, and issues common to young adults and women. Her work includes supporting people dealing with cancer, isolation, and midlife questions.
She aims to create a respectful, sensitive space for each person to talk about what matters most. She practices in California and offers sessions in English. Tanya prefers to match treatment to a person’s goals and pace, guiding each step with practical strategies and steady support.

How Tanya Uses CBT Online and What to Expect
Tanya draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT teaches practical skills such as breaking problems into manageable steps, building routines for better sleep, and practicing new ways of reacting to stress. These skills are useful for anxiety, depression, mood swings, and parenting challenges.She aims to match the approach to each person. That means she will work with clients to decide which tools fit their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection, and text-based messaging is useful for brief updates or reminders. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
