Online session options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Many clients find narrative approaches useful because they focus on the stories people live by. Narrative work helps name those stories, separate a person from a problem, and try new ways of acting when old patterns cause pain. It can be helpful for anxiety, relationship themes, and feelings of emptiness.Attachment-based therapy looks at how early bonds shape current reactions. In short sessions this approach helps identify patterns in relationships, build awareness of triggers, and practice new ways of asking for connection. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience by listening closely and following the client's priorities; it supports self-directed change and a respectful, nonjudgmental pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya will collaborate to see which methods feel most helpful based on goals, values, and the problem at hand. She adapts techniques across sessions and checks in often so the plan fits the client's life.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to keep momentum between appointments and to fit therapy into a real-life routine.
