About Tanya

Tanya Richmond is an LCSW who helps people handle stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, trauma, compassion fatigue, and career questions. She works with concerns that come from life changes, caregiving, aging, and isolation. Tanya practices in North Carolina and brings 26 years of experience to her work.

Tanya uses a person-centered style that is warm, reflective, and engaging. She listens first to learn what matters to each person and then tailors sessions to those priorities.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical coping skills, mindful breathing, and building clearer steps for change. Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices. That mix supports people who need help with overwhelming thoughts, recurring worries, or grief after loss.

Tanya also draws on solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals and track progress. Many clients appreciate hands-on techniques Tanya offers, such as guided breathing and simple movement exercises that can be practiced between sessions. She frames these tools as ways to reduce tension, regain focus, and strengthen self-care habits.

Tanya emphasizes dignity and respect in every conversation. She is experienced supporting people through end-of-life planning, hospice-related concerns, and caregiving stress. Tanya also works with those affected by disasters, people living with intellectual disability, and those seeking clearer life purpose or increased self-love.

Her practice aims to empower people as they make choices and adjust to change.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. It means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters most, and shapes sessions around those goals. This approach helps when someone feels overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and shifting negative self-talk into more balanced thinking.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple breathing and attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment calm. These techniques can be woven into sessions and practiced between meetings to manage tension and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommend or try methods that feel like a good fit. That process is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and guided exercises, phone can fit quick check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for brief updates or short reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
