Tanea Couther, LCPC

Tanea Couther is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland with 11 years of experience. She guides people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma-related concerns with a practical and respectful approach. Her work focuses on helping clients find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

She shapes conversations around each person’s needs rather than using one fixed plan. Sessions are designed to uncover what’s getting in the way of daily functioning and to build tools that fit real life. That can mean practicing coping skills, rethinking unhelpful thoughts, or learning new ways to communicate.

Tanea uses a mix of client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness practices. She also draws on techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and existential approaches when they match a client’s goals. These methods are chosen to address things like panic, mood shifts, relationship strain, and post-traumatic stress.

She pays attention to attachment and communication patterns, and to issues such as guilt, shame, impulsivity, or feelings of emptiness. Conversations often include concrete steps to reduce overwhelm and improve daily routines. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Tanea emphasizes compassion and sensitivity in the room. She tailors the pace and plan to each person’s situation and values. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Client-centered therapy puts your voice first and focuses on what matters to you. The therapist listens without judgment and works to understand your experience so goals and pace match your needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, adds a focus on managing intense emotions and improving moment-to-moment coping skills. It can be helpful for people who want concrete strategies for impulsivity, anger, or relationship conflict. These approaches are used together when they fit a person's goals and current challenges.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about goals, try approaches that make sense, and adjust the plan based on what helps. You and the therapist decide together which strategies to prioritize.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and can reduce travel time. It also lets therapists use screen-sharing for worksheets, guide mindfulness practices, and assign between-session exercises that fit daily routines.
