    About Tanya

    Tanya Henderson is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also supports people working on self-esteem, motivation, and career concerns. Tanya approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

    Tanya keeps sessions focused on what matters most to the client. She listens closely and tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation. That often means setting small, achievable goals and checking progress together.

    Her approach draws on practical methods like cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing to build change step by step. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused conversations are used when they match a person’s needs.

    Tanya has five years of professional experience and holds an LCSW-C in Maryland. She uses that background to help people find clearer priorities and stronger coping skills for day-to-day life.

    People meet her for help with body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, and workplace stress. She can also support those facing gender dysphoria concerns or end-of-life and hospice-related feelings.

    Tanya aims to make the first steps simple. She works with each person to create a plan that fits their life and goals, and adjusts that plan as needs change.

  2. How Tanya Uses Motivational and Practical Approaches Online

    Tanya often combines motivational interviewing with client-centered care to help people find their own reasons for change. Motivational interviewing focuses on listening for what matters to you and building momentum for small steps. Client-centered work emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental conversation where the client's goals guide the pace and focus.

    She also integrates cognitive behavioral ideas to identify thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT-style approaches offer clear experiments and small practice tasks that can reduce anxiety and improve mood over time. These methods are chosen to match the person’s goals rather than applied the same way for everyone.

    Finding the right mix is part of the work. Tanya will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches feel useful and adjust plans based on progress and preference. That collaborative process helps people build motivation, skills, and manageable steps toward their goals.

    Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, or choose a quieter time for a focused check-in. Online meetings also make it easier to keep regular momentum with quick follow-ups and continued goal-setting without needing to be physically present.
