About Tanya
Tanya Edwards is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Wisconsin. She brings three years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the ups and downs of parenting and life transitions. Tanya aims to make the first step feel manageable and nonthreatening for people who are worried or unsure.
Her approach is straightforward and people-focused. Sessions begin with listening to what matters most and what the person hopes to change.
Background and approach
She uses practical techniques to help with day-to-day coping and supports deeper work when needed. Tanya often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to build small, doable behavior changes. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make space for each person's perspective and choices.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods help set short-term goals and keep momentum moving forward. In sessions she pays attention to how past experiences affect current feelings, bringing in Psychodynamic ideas when it helps people connect patterns across time. That mix can be useful for people dealing with trauma, grief, postpartum changes, or ongoing stress from caregiving and family roles.
People who prefer direct, supportive conversation and clear steps may find her style helpful. Tanya emphasizes collaboration - she works with each person to set goals and check progress as therapy continues.

Online support
How Tanya’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and make choices that fit their values, which can be especially helpful when sorting parenting concerns, caregiving strain, or identity issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and social worries. Motivational Interviewing uses gentle questions to build a person’s own reasons for change and can help with setting goals like improving self-care or managing stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques that fit, and adjust the plan over time. That collaboration helps people stay engaged and test what actually helps in daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video visits allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick reflections, between-session support, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent progress.
