About Tanya

Tanya Henderson is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland who focuses on work and wellbeing concerns such as stress, anxiety, career challenges, and LGBT issues. She also helps people cope with grief, build self-esteem, and find motivation when they feel stuck. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people take practical steps toward feeling better.

She centers sessions on each person’s needs, listening first and adapting plans as the work unfolds. Conversations are collaborative and straightforward, with an emphasis on small changes that add up. Tanya uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to help clients set concrete goals and keep moving forward. These methods aim to clarify values and strengthen motivation, which can be useful for career shifts or rebuilding confidence after loss. Sessions often include simple exercises and real-world experiments to test what helps.

Tanya has five years of professional experience and describes her style as sensitive and compassionate. She aims to create a space where people can speak honestly about difficult feelings and practical problems. Her work often addresses workplace stress, social anxiety, body image concerns, and identity-related issues.

People who want a practical, supportive approach to work and wellbeing may find her style helpful. She encourages clients to take the next step and offers guidance on how to make steady progress toward clearer goals.

How her approaches adapt to remote work and wellbeing care

Tanya commonly uses client-centered therapy to keep conversations focused on each person’s priorities, helping clients name what matters most and make decisions that fit their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety and improve functioning.

She may also incorporate mindfulness practices to help people manage stress and stay present during difficult moments. These practices often involve brief breathing or attention exercises that can be done between sessions to reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Tanya works with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. She discusses options, tries techniques, and adjusts the plan based on what proves helpful in real life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking so expectations are clear. Many people find remote work easier to fit into a busy day, allows shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or supports working without travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to practice real-world tasks between meetings and to bring workplace or daily-life problems directly into session for immediate feedback.
