About Tanya

Tanya Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, trauma and related concerns. Her practice also addresses intimacy issues, sleep problems, mood disorders, and questions that come up in midlife and young adulthood.

She keeps sessions interactive and straightforward. Tanya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach. She may offer more directive feedback when needed and sometimes uses light humor to point out patterns. The aim is to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

Her background includes long-term work in private practice with a wide age range of clients. Tanya pairs practical CBT techniques with attention to everyday life tasks. That can mean breaking down worries into steps, building small routines to sleep better, or practicing clearer ways to raise concerns at home.

Sessions focus on concrete skills and short-term problem solving alongside deeper patterns that keep problems recurring. Tanya also addresses issues such as guilt, shame, isolation, cancer-related stress, and women's health concerns when these affect daily functioning.

She offers straightforward guidance on how to begin making changes and works with clients to set realistic goals. The emphasis is on usable skills clients can try between sessions and on adjusting the approach as needed.

How sessions work

How Tanya Uses CBT Online and What to Expect

Tanya bases much of her work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes to see what helps. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties and relationship stress.

She pairs CBT techniques with practical life-focused guidance. That might include step-by-step plans for handling a difficult conversation at home, short exercises to manage worry, or sleep routines to improve rest. The therapist and client decide together which tools to try and when to adjust course.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will collaborate with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and daily routine. She will check how methods are working and change direction if something is not helpful.

The online arrangement is meant to fit sessions into day-to-day life. Because the original biography did not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or parenting, reduce travel time, and allow regular check-ins. Licensed professionals often use that flexibility to focus on small, practical steps that can be used between meetings.
