About Tanya

Tanya Morrow brings nearly four decades of social work experience to her independent practice, combining a long career in community mental health with work in outpatient settings.

Background and approach

She earned a Bachelor’s Degree from Ohio Wesleyan University and a Master of Science in Social Administration from Case Western Reserve University, and has held roles focused on children and families, including a 24-year tenure at Beech Brook.

Now licensed as an LISW in Ohio and an LCSW in Arizona, she has worked in clinical care since 1982 and began independent practice in 2017. Her approach centers on helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, mood instability, and life transitions while supporting self-esteem and empowerment.

Tanya lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among her methods and also uses EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches when appropriate. She welcomes a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and caregiving stress.

Tanya serves individuals aged 12 to 112 and expresses particular interest in supporting women and people who identify as minority or disenfranchised. She offers a pragmatic but compassionate style that emphasizes skill-building, personal agency, and practical strategies for coping with change and improving daily functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Many of Tanya's sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to manage anxiety, mood concerns, and everyday stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach she may use to help people clarify values and develop flexible responses to difficult thoughts and feelings, often useful for life transitions and chronic stress. She also works from Attachment-Based perspectives that explore relationship patterns and early bonds to improve interpersonal functioning and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work in therapy. She partners with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and tailors methods accordingly, making adjustments over time so the plan fits the person's changing circumstances.

Online therapy with Tanya is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or mobility considerations, and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support across varied situations.
