Tanya L. Tibby , LCSW

Tanya L. Tibby is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida who uses a blend of practical therapies to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She brings 20 years of clinical and leadership experience to her work and focuses on making therapy adaptable to each person’s needs.

Tanya favors clear, down-to-earth conversations. She listens for how past attachments and current thoughts shape feelings and behaviors. Sessions aim to identify patterns, set manageable goals, and build skills that fit daily life.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods. That mix is used to help with trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, grief, addictions, and coping with life changes.

Tanya also supports people dealing with parenting stress, career concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and chronic illness or pain. She pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, control and abandonment concerns, and forgiveness work when those matters come up.

Conversations are intended to be respectful and nonjudgmental. Tanya aims to tailor each plan so it matches a person’s goals and pace. She encourages honest talk about what is working and adjusts strategies as needed.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Tanya uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns; this work often focuses on how to build more secure ways of relating and responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood through clear, practiceable steps. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices that help manage stress and ground emotional reactions.

Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily routines to figure out which approaches fit best. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what isn’t, so people stay involved in shaping their care.

Online formats offer practical benefits for fitting therapy into life. Video calls give face-to-face interaction similar to in-person work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief, focused exchanges when a short update or coach-style prompt is helpful. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
