Tanya Roberts , LCSW

Tanya Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 20 years of experience. She focuses on common and painful concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and womens issues. She also supports people facing intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting stress, career transitions, bipolar mood struggles, and the challenges of life changes.

Her style is warm and interactive. Tanya listens first and then helps people set clear, practical steps. She often uses straightforward talk and sometimes gentle humor to make difficult topics easier to name.

Tanya draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She blends that approach with natural and holistic ideas when they fit a persons needs. She aims to match the way she works to each individual rather than forcing one method on everyone.

Sessions can include focused skill-building, problem-solving, behavioral changes, and thoughtful conversation about values and life goals. Tanya helps people manage symptoms and build routines that support better sleep, mood, and relationship habits.

Tanya emphasizes respect and compassion in her work. She recognizes taking the first step can be hard and offers steady support while people try new approaches and make changes.

How Tanya uses CBT online and what to expect

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes in behavior to reduce symptoms. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress because it offers clear steps and homework to practice between sessions.

In session Tanya adapts CBT techniques to each persons situation. She may use brief exercises, thought records, or behavioral experiments that clients can try between meetings. The goal is to test what works and adjust the plan collaboratively rather than sticking to a fixed script.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Tanya will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life, then recommend CBT-based tools or combine them with holistic ideas when helpful. She checks in regularly and changes the focus based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in fits the schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill reminders, and staying connected between longer sessions. These options can help fit therapy into busy lives and make it easier to keep consistent contact with a licensed professional.
