About Tanya
Tanya Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep struggles, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges tied to life transitions. Her approach is warm and direct, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for worried parents and busy adults.
Tanya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she blends practical strategies with more natural, holistic ideas when that fits a person's needs. Sessions often include clear, doable steps to change thoughts and routines that keep problems going. She adjusts the pace and level of direction to suit each person, sometimes using gentle humor and sometimes being more straightforward.
Her work spans many concerns including parenting strain, career stress, self-esteem and mood disorders. She also supports people facing trauma, LGBT-related concerns, cancer-related distress, and feelings of isolation or guilt. Tanya pays attention to both immediate problems and longer-term life purpose and self-love questions.
Tanya practices in California and uses an approachable style that focuses on respect and sensitivity. She emphasizes matching treatment to the person rather than forcing one method on everyone. People can expect clear feedback, practical tools, and steady support as they try new ways of coping.
She encourages people to take small steps toward change and offers guidance along the way. Messages are typically returned within a day when possible, though response times can be longer on days she sees clients in person.
How Tanya Uses CBT Online and Finds the Right Fit
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real life. It breaks worries and sleep problems into smaller parts and offers concrete exercises to try, like changing bedtime routines or shifting daytime thinking patterns to improve rest and mood.Tanya also mixes CBT with natural and holistic ideas when that suits a person. That can mean exploring lifestyle adjustments, relaxation practices, and small habit changes alongside cognitive work to support sleep and daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. She works collaboratively to see which methods match the client's goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is tracked. Clients have input about the pace and the mix of practical steps versus broader lifestyle work.
