Her clinical background spans a wide variety of settings - including inpatient psychiatric hospital care, non-profit and community health programs, university counseling centers, integrated behavioral health settings, hospice, and government services - which informs a flexible and experienced approach to care. She has specialized training in couples and family interventions, drawing on Gottman Method principles, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), solution-focused strategies, and other systemic models. Tania integrates multiple evidence-informed modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), hypnotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and brief, solution-oriented techniques to address a broad range of symptoms and life challenges.

Many people consider online therapy because it can make mental health care more accessible for everyday concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. For these kinds of issues, therapists frequently adapt the same evidence-informed methods used in person to virtual formats, and many people find meaningful benefit from that work.One major practical advantage is flexibility - individuals can connect with therapists in the way that best fits their routines and comfort level, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to maintain momentum in treatment during busy or unpredictable periods.
All therapists in this context are licensed professionals, and individuals may choose a different therapist at any time if they are seeking a different therapeutic fit. For people weighing options, virtual therapy can be a convenient and effective way to begin addressing concerns and building skills with a trained professional.
