Tanya Edwards

Tanya Edwards is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 15 years of experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people facing grief, depression, low self-esteem, anger, and major life changes. People also turn to her for support with career shifts, caregiver stress, parenting concerns, and relationship struggles.

Her background includes work with hospice and end-of-life counseling as well as aging and geriatric issues. She draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. Tanya describes her style as strengths-oriented and collaborative.

In sessions she prioritizes partnership and clear goals. She helps clients name what matters, try different ways of coping, and track what changes feel useful. She uses plain language and practical exercises rather than jargon.

Her experience includes supporting people through caregiver burnout, compassion fatigue, cultural and multicultural concerns, and the strain of prejudice or discrimination. She also addresses body image, life purpose, midlife transitions, and infertility-related issues in the context of emotional healing.

Tanya holds credentials as LICSW, LCSW, and CSW and practices in Massachusetts. She accepts English-speaking and international clients and frames therapy as a flexible, collaborative process that adapts to each person’s goals.

How Tanya’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to each person's needs. It helps when someone wants a respectful, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for depression, anger, and low self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift strong emotional responses and strengthen ways of reaching others when relationships or attachment issues are central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya treats this as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist decide together what to try and how to measure progress over time.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows continuity of care for people who live far from Massachusetts or who need to work around caregiving and job schedules.
