About Tanya
Tanya Edwards is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and LCSW licensed in Vermont and Colorado with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults in Massachusetts on grief, depression, self-esteem, caregiving, career issues, and transitions into new life stages. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use every day.
Tanya favors approaches that help people make sense of their thinking and feelings. She uses Client-Centered techniques to listen and reflect. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to clarify strong feelings and how they affect close relationships.
Her sessions often involve setting small goals and trying specific skills between meetings. People can expect clear options rather than long theory talks. Tanya frames work as a partnership and discusses choices openly so clients can pick what fits their situation.
She pays attention to cultural differences and how life stages affect mood and identity. That includes support for caregivers, people facing aging or end-of-life issues, and those coping after loss or major life changes. Practical problem solving about work, family roles, and parenting strain is part of the work.
Tanya also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools when they help move a problem forward. She values straightforward conversations about what is working and what needs to change. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How Tanya’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and helping people name what matters to them. Online sessions use that same listening to identify priorities and create clear next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and testing small behavioral changes; online work often pairs discussion with concrete skill practice between sessions.Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people locate strong feelings and understand how they affect relationships. In remote sessions this can mean tracking patterns in recent interactions and practicing new responses in real situations. These approaches are practical and oriented to daily life concerns like caregiving, grief, and workplace stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped before, then suggest a plan to try for a period. That plan can be adjusted based on what feels useful and what produces small changes.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins when life gets hectic. They also allow for different rhythms of work - for example a focused 30-minute check-in versus a longer weekly meeting - depending on what the therapist and client agree will help.
