Tanya Edwards, LICSW, LCSW, CSW

Tanya Edwards is a licensed clinical social worker who centers therapy on the person in front of her. She uses a collaborative, strengths-focused approach to help people facing big life shifts. She is straightforward in sessions and works to make therapy feel practical and manageable.

With 15 years of experience, Tanya helps people who are dealing with grief, depression, low self-esteem, and the particular disruptions that come with midlife changes. She also supports those handling caregiving stress, career challenges, relationship strain, and issues around aging and end-of-life concerns. Her practice pays attention to cultural context and to how discrimination or bias can affect well-being.

Tanya draws from several evidence-informed methods, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. In sessions she often combines tools from these approaches to match a person’s needs and goals. That might mean skill practice, reflective conversation, or guided awareness exercises.

People work with her to clarify priorities, change unhelpful patterns, and find more meaning in daily life. She emphasizes partnership rather than prescription and adjusts pace to each person’s comfort. Her style aims for clear steps and compassionate support.

Tanya maintains a practice based in Massachusetts and accepts clients who prefer to work in English. Prospective clients can expect a straightforward intake and a focus on practical strategies alongside deeper emotional work.

How Tanya's Approaches Work Online

Tanya uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people set the pace and goals of their work. This approach is helpful for people who want a steady, listening presence while they sort through life changes or grief.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and task-focused, which can help with depression, low self-esteem, or career-related stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya discusses options with each person and adapts methods to match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, emotional processing, or values-driven action.
