Tanya Roberts, LCSW

Tanya Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem and sleeping. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, career crossroads, bipolar mood concerns, and life changes such as midlife shifts or cancer.

Tanya uses a straightforward, interactive style in sessions. She may be more directive when a clear plan helps, and use light humor at times to point out patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a central tool in her work, used to address thoughts, behaviors, and mood. She also weaves in other approaches to fit the person’s needs.

In session she helps people identify thought patterns, test new behaviors, and develop small, practical strategies for daily life. Conversations are paced to match what the client needs that day. Practical tasks between sessions are often used to track progress and build skills.

She has worked with a broad age range historically and has experience supporting people through health-related challenges such as cancer, as well as relationship and intimacy-related difficulties. Her background includes two decades in private practice in California.

Tanya asks clients to choose treatment approaches together rather than applying one fixed model. Her focus is on concrete steps people can take to reduce distress and manage responsibilities at home, at work, and in community life.
