About Tanya
Tanya Edwards is a licensed social worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with three years of clinical experience. She has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
Her practice emphasizes building a respectful, open environment where clients can explore difficult emotions and begin to make practical shifts in day-to-day life. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods with empathic listening, helping clients address concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, relationship and communication problems, postpartum and pregnancy-related issues, and the effects of prejudice or past sexual assault.
Tanya also supports work around forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, life purpose, and social anxiety. She frames progress as a collaborative effort and encourages clients to set goals that feel meaningful and achievable.
Tanya offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Prospective clients can begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability, with sessions provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to explore feelings and priorities; this approach helps people who need empathy and validation as they sort through difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps clarify personal values and strengthen motivation for change, which can be helpful for making life transitions or addressing challenging habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself, and the therapist collaborates with each person to tailor methods based on their goals, preferences, and progress. Treatment can evolve over time, mixing techniques from different approaches to match what helps most in a given moment.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care when life is busy or travel is limited, and they allow licensed professionals to use the same therapeutic tools and conversational methods virtually as they would in person.
