About Tanya

Tanya Richmond is an LCSW with 26 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, career concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping clients strengthen self-esteem, discover life purpose, and build practical coping skills while attending to issues like aging, caregiving stress, end-of-life concerns, isolation, and intellectual disability. Her practice often includes attention to hospice and disaster-related reactions as well as fostering self-love and resilience.

Her therapeutic stance is warm, reflective, and person-centered; she emphasizes dignity and respect and avoids reducing people to labels. Tanya combines client-centered listening with evidence-based tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques, and she integrates practices like guided meditation, Qi Gong, and yogic breathing when helpful.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s priorities, with an emphasis on collaboration and on helping individuals think through difficult changes and make meaningful choices. Based in North Carolina, Tanya brings decades of experience to support those seeking greater meaning, improved coping, and renewed emotional balance.

She aims to empower clients to move toward the life and relationships they value.

How Tanya’s Approaches Adapt to Online Therapy



Tanya often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and improve coping, while mindfulness practices teach present-moment awareness and breathing techniques to ease stress and build emotional regulation. She also brings a client-centered orientation that emphasizes listening and tailoring techniques to what matters most to each person.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the collaborative process. Tanya works with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and daily demands, then shapes a plan that may combine CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps. The therapist and client review progress together and adjust methods as needed to find the most useful path forward.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to practice skills between sessions, check in when challenges arise, and maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
