About Tanya
Tanya Richmond is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem. She focuses on practical coping for life changes, caregiver strain, and career concerns. Tanya emphasizes dignity and respect in every meeting and aims to create a calm space where people feel heard.
Her style is warm, reflective, and person-centered. She listens first to understand what matters to each person and tailors sessions to individual needs. Tanya avoids labeling and prefers to work with the whole situation rather than fitting someone into a box.
Tanya blends Client-Centered Therapy with mindfulness-based practices and cognitive-behavioral ideas when they fit the client's goals. She often includes breathing exercises, guided meditations, and gentle movement such as Qi Gong to help with grounding and stress relief. These tools are used alongside conversation to build everyday skills.
She has supported people through grief, end-of-life planning, hospice-related concerns, and recovery after disasters or other traumatic events. Tanya also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, intellectual disability, and the isolation that can come with life transitions. Caregiver stress and compassion fatigue are frequent topics she helps people address.
Tanya works from North Carolina and offers sessions in English. She encourages people seeking more meaning, better self-care, or clearer choices to take the next step toward support and planning.
How Tanya Uses Talk and Practice Online
Tanya blends Client-Centered Therapy with mindfulness work and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people manage stress, grief, and trauma. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are, which can help people feel understood and clear about their goals. Mindfulness Therapy uses breathing, guided meditation, and gentle movement to reduce reactivity and build simple self-care skills that can be practiced between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and helps people try new actions that lead to better results.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a shared process. Tanya will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, and then recommend techniques to try together. That collaboration helps shape what is tried in session and what homework or practice might be useful between meetings.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, allow short check-ins when needed, and let people use breathing or guided meditation practices in their usual routine. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches so practical skills translate into everyday life.
