About Tanya

Tanya Wood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationships, family and parenting concerns, and issues common in young adulthood.

Tanya uses straightforward conversation and practical skills work. She helps people notice what feels stuck and then practices small changes that can matter day to day. Sessions often include talking through emotions, building coping skills, and trying new ways to handle difficult moments.

Her background includes helping people cope with major life changes like separation, caregiving strain, chronic illness, adoption and foster care concerns, and recovery after domestic violence. She also supports people working on self-esteem, commitment and communication problems, and career-related stress.

Tanya draws on several approaches that fit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for regulating emotion and managing strong reactions. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are part of current distress.

She works with English and Spanish speakers and accepts international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session are used to get started and set practical goals.

How clinical approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy means sessions focus on the person's own goals and experiences, with the therapist listening carefully and following the client's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to see what changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing past events and their impact through paced, skills-based work that reduces distress and improves daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and how someone responds in session. That decision can change over time as goals shift or new stressors appear.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people work with a therapist who speaks English or Spanish even if they are not local. Confirm the exact session types offered when you sign up so they match your day-to-day routines.
