About Tanya
Dr. Tanya Harrell is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She offers a calm, straightforward style and helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and life changes.
Her approach centers on understanding what matters to each person and building practical habits to move forward. She combines humanistic, existential ideas with down-to-earth techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that get in the way and trying manageable skills to change thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
Background and approach
The goal is clearer direction and steadier days rather than quick fixes. She has seven years of clinical experience working with people who have lived through trauma, domestic violence, and other difficult life events. Her past work included counseling adults and children and supporting homeless families, which shaped a broad sense of what people face in hard times.
In the room she listens for what matters most to each person and adapts the work to that perspective. Expect practical exercises, chance to talk through painful memories, and attention to developing inner strengths. Dr.
Harrell also draws on approaches that address attachment and emotional regulation when these fit the client’s needs. Therapy can include short skills practice, problem-focused sessions, or deeper exploration over time. She works with concerns such as parenting stress, substance-related issues, bipolar and depressive symptoms, eating and sleeping problems, relationship struggles, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It teaches concrete tools for mood, sleep, eating patterns, and behavior change, so people have step-by-step practices to try between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions now. It can help with relationship struggles, intimacy-related issues, and rebuilding trust in close connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and real-life constraints. That may mean starting with skills-based CBT techniques, then adding ACT or attachment work as deeper themes emerge.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
