About Tanya
Tanya Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California with two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and related concerns.
Background and approach
She draws on a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) foundation while blending natural and holistic techniques to address issues such as self-esteem, intimacy, sleep disruption, parenting strains, career transitions, bipolar mood concerns, and life changes including midlife shifts and questions of purpose. Additional focuses include cancer-related adjustment, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, women's issues, and young adult concerns.
Her clinical manner is warm, interactive, and adaptable; she may use light humor to bring awareness to a pattern or adopt a more directive stance when specific strategies are needed. Tanya emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, aiming to match interventions to each person rather than forcing a single method.
Taking therapy steps is framed as a collaborative process in which she listens closely and provides guidance and support throughout the work.
CBT-Informed Care and Online Flexibility
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core part of her practice and focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. This approach is practical and skill-based, often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, sleep difficulties, and many mood-related concerns.
She also incorporates natural and holistic techniques alongside CBT when useful, drawing on lifestyle, relaxation, and grounding strategies that support emotional regulation and overall well-being. These complementary methods can help with issues like grief, chronic stress, and adjustment to health challenges.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to clarify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods over time so the treatment fits the person's needs and preferences rather than forcing a single method from the start.
Online therapy offers practical advantages for those seeking flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide convenience when video is not preferred, and live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing check-ins and skill practice between sessions. These options help make consistent care more accessible while fitting into varied schedules and life demands.
