About Tanya
Tanya D Mizell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 23 years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She draws on a broad background supporting people who face stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression, and issues related to identity and relationships. Her work also includes attention to eating and parenting concerns, anger and self-esteem challenges, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among other areas.
Her approach blends evidence-informed methods with a person-centered stance, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside motivational interviewing, narrative, and solution-focused techniques to meet clients where they are. Tanya's training and varied clinical placements have exposed her to complex presentations, including comorbidity and trauma-related care, and she routinely adapts interventions to reflect each client's strengths and goals.
She practices in English and provides sessions through a range of online formats to accommodate different schedules. As an LPC in Michigan she aims to collaborate with clients to identify practical strategies and meaningful change rather than promising specific outcomes.
Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers on building a collaborative, respectful relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports the client's self-directed growth; this is helpful for clients seeking validation, increased self-understanding, and a supportive space to explore concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to shift those patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative technique aimed at strengthening motivation for change through guided conversation and is often used when clients feel uncertain about change or face ambivalence.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and practical circumstances, and she adapts strategies as therapy progresses so clients can test what feels most helpful. This collaborative process helps tailor a plan rather than assuming a single method will suit everyone.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These formats make it possible to access a licensed professional from varied locations in Michigan, fit therapy into busy lives, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not convenient.
