About Tanya
Tanya Edwards is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin with three years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and major life changes. Tanya aims to make sessions feel straightforward and approachable for a worried parent looking for support.
Her work focuses on understanding what each person brings into the room. Tanya listens without judgment and helps clients name the problems that feel most pressing.
Background and approach
She uses practical conversation to uncover patterns that get in the way of daily life and parenting roles. Tanya draws on several ways of working to match what a client needs today.
She uses client-centered methods to follow a person’s lead, cognitive behavioral ideas to spot thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood, and motivational interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck. She also brings elements of psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused techniques when useful. Sessions are meant to feel like a collaboration.
Tanya works with people to set small, achievable goals and to build skills they can use between visits. She pays attention to how stress and caregiver responsibilities affect mood, sleep, and relationships. People often come for help after big transitions, pregnancy and childbirth issues, or when old hurts resurface.
Tanya also supports concerns such as body image, guilt and shame, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Her plain-spoken approach is aimed at practical progress over time.

Approaches and online care that fit daily life
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client's perspective and building a trusting connection. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of their feelings before changing habits.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood active. It uses clear exercises and homework to shift unhelpful thinking and build coping skills useful for parenting and daily stress.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It is helpful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making adjustments in relationships, routines, or self-care.
Tanya treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit those needs. Over a few sessions she checks what helps and adjusts the plan together with the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to fit care into a busy life. Video calls let people work face to face when schedules allow, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the go, and text or live chat work well for quick check-ins or shorter conversations. These options make it easier to keep momentum between appointments and to use skills in real time.
