About Tanya
Tanya Mills is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia with three years of post-licensure experience. She works with people who are facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues.

How Tanya uses CBT, DBT and Mindfulness online
Tanya often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT sessions focus on concrete exercises such as testing assumptions, trying small behavioral experiments, and setting manageable goals that can reduce low mood and improve problem solving.Dialectical behavior therapy is used for learning emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style skills practice helps when strong emotions lead to impulsive behavior or when someone needs better tools for handling conflict and stress.
Mindfulness approaches teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase presence during stressful moments. These practices are brief and can be woven into daily life between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tanya collaborates with each person to identify goals and then tries approaches that match those goals and preferences. She checks progress and adjusts methods based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
