Tanya Hill, LCSW

Tanya Hill is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma and abuse. She aims to make the first step toward change feel less overwhelming by offering steady support and a calm presence. Tanya uses a straightforward, compassionate style so people can talk about hard things without feeling judged.

In sessions she focuses on what a person needs right now. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, practical goals. Conversations can include learning new coping skills, shifting difficult thoughts, and practicing ways to handle intense emotions.

Tanya blends several approaches to fit each situation. She uses client-centered methods to follow the person’s lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when strong emotions are present. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas help with decision points and short-term problem solving.

Her background includes work in clinical settings across Florida and California. Tanya emphasizes respect for cultural differences and aims to support people from diverse backgrounds. She also has experience with issues that affect caregivers, older adults, veterans, and young adults.

Sessions are conducted in English and are intended to help people move toward more manageable days. If someone is ready to try therapy, Tanya guides them through goal-setting and practical steps they can use between sessions.

How Tanya’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what is said, asks open questions, and helps people name their goals and priorities, which can be done easily in online conversations.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, emotions, and actions. Online sessions can introduce specific strategies to notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for regulating intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be practiced and reviewed during remote sessions when needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then tailor techniques from different methods. This is a collaborative process where approaches are adjusted if something doesn’t fit.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy routine, quicker check-ins when needed, and options for shorter or longer conversations depending on what helps most.
