About Tanya

Tanya Toyer is a licensed counselor with more than 26 years of experience. She uses evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches to help people facing relationship strain, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma. Tanya brings a calm, practical style to sessions and focuses on clear steps toward feeling better.

She works with adults across a wide range of life challenges. Common concerns she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, family problems, divorce and separation, and the effects of abuse. Pregnancy and childbirth-related worries are listed among her focus areas and she can help people talk through those concerns.

Tanya emphasizes wellness and recovery. That means blending methods that have research support with attention to daily habits and coping skills. Sessions involve talking through problems, building skills, and creating manageable goals that fit a person’s life.

Her training is documented by the LPCC and LPC credentials, which she uses to guide ethical practice in Georgia and Ohio. She also has experience supervising other counselors, which informs how she stays current with approaches that work.

People who choose Tanya can expect straightforward guidance and practical skills. She aims to make therapy easy to understand and to help people take small steps that add up to real change.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Evidence-based and trauma-informed methods focus on practical skills and safety planning. Evidence-based techniques use strategies shown by research to help with depression and anxiety, such as building coping skills, changing unhelpful thinking, and practicing behavioral steps. Trauma-informed work prioritizes understanding how past harm affects current reactions and helps people regain a sense of control and stability.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. A therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking in about what helps and changing course when something is not working.

Session formats are not detailed in the provided biography, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue care while managing work, childcare, or recovery tasks. Ask about current session options to see how they can fit into everyday life.
