About Tanya

Tanya Richmond is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, trauma, and life changes. She also supports concerns related to career questions, aging and geriatric issues, caregiver strain, and feelings of isolation. Tanya writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.

Her approach is warm, reflective, and centered on the individual. She uses Client-Centered Therapy and mindfulness tools to help people notice how they respond to stress.

Background and approach

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques to create clear, manageable steps for change. Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm needs careful attention. Tanya often teaches simple breathing exercises and guided meditation to reduce tension and improve focus.

She aims to tailor sessions to each person rather than use one-size-fits-all plans. Sessions emphasize respect, dignity, and practical ways to feel steadier day to day. She has a long history of working with people around end-of-life planning, hospice and bereavement concerns, and disasters caused by nature or people.

Tanya also helps caregivers balance duties and self-care, and she supports people living with intellectual disability who face extra challenges. Tanya practices in North Carolina and holds an LCSW, which is a licensed clinical social worker credential. She offers conversation and guidance to help people find more purpose, self-love, and clearer next steps.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship. In online sessions this means the therapist follows each person's lead and helps them set goals that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. That work can include short at-home practices, worksheets, and coaching between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple breathing, body awareness, and guided meditation to reduce anxiety and increase focus, which can be practiced during or after a video or phone session.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Tanya will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest ways to try techniques together. The plan can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift, and choices are made collaboratively.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for guided exercises and a fuller conversational experience. Phone sessions can fit a short break during a workday or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, and keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make care more flexible for people balancing caregiving, work, or mobility challenges.
