About Tanya
Tanya Wood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, grief, and other heavy emotions. Tanya also offers practical coaching around life changes and parenting concerns in straightforward, everyday language.
She blends client-centered listening with therapy methods that help people change unhelpful patterns. Sessions often include clear tools from cognitive behavioral strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense feelings.
Background and approach
Tanya also uses trauma-focused and solution-focused techniques when those approaches fit a person’s needs. Her background includes helping clients navigate relationship struggles, self-esteem issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and career transitions. She draws on seven years of experience to match tools to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Sessions aim to build coping skills and practical steps clients can use between meetings. Spanish and English are both available for sessions, and she accepts international clients. Tanya frames therapy as a collaborative process, so people set goals and choose what to work on.
The emphasis is on small, achievable changes that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. People come for support with parenting questions, managing anger, healing from trauma or abuse, and adjusting after separation or loss. The work combines listening, skill teaching, and planning so clients leave sessions with clear next steps.

How Tanya’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Tanya uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can decide what to change. Cognitive behavioral techniques offer concrete steps and exercises to shift thoughts and behaviors tied to anxiety, depression, and stress.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotions feel intense. DBT-style skills train practical strategies for managing strong feelings, improving communication, and tolerating distress without making things worse. Together these approaches give a mix of support, skill building, and actionable planning tailored to each person’s goals.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Tanya discusses goals and preferences during early sessions and adjusts methods as needed. Clients help set priorities so therapy focuses on what matters most to them, whether that is coping with parenting stress, working through grief, or improving daily routines.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video can be used for fuller conversations and skills practice, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging allows brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work from wherever a person is located.
