About Tanya

Tanya Younce is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with two decades of experience across multiple levels of mental health care. She works with people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, career strain, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Tanya also attends to related areas such as attachment wounds, codependency, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and difficulties with forgiveness, guilt, or shame. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-informed methods.

She draws on Internal Family Systems (IFS) alongside Attachment-Based and Client-Centered perspectives as well as Cognitive Behavioral and Existential frameworks to help clients notice patterns, shift unhelpful beliefs, and build practical coping skills. Tanya frames therapy as a journey toward greater balance - identifying obstacles that disrupt emotional equilibrium and supporting clients in developing insight and sustainable strategies.

Trained at James Madison University (BA in Psychology) and Xavier University (Master's in Clinical Counseling), she brings clinical training and practical experience to each session. Tanya offers flexible online formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences, guiding clients through change with steadiness, curiosity, and a focus on real-world skills.

How specific approaches translate to online therapy

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people notice and relate to different internal parts that influence emotions and behavior; online sessions can use guided exploration and dialogue to help clients unblend from protective patterns and connect with calmer, wiser parts. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns shape current bonds and emotional responses, making it useful for addressing trust, intimacy, and communication problems through reflective conversation and relational exercises. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own capacity for growth, creating a supportive space where concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions can be explored at the client’s pace.

Determining which approach or combination will be most helpful is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, assess needs, and tailor methods so sessions align with preferences and real-life priorities. This collaborative stance helps shape a plan that evolves as progress and challenges emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit consistent work into busy schedules. These formats support ongoing momentum between sessions and allow licensed professionals to provide tools, skill practice, and reflective dialogue from wherever clients are located within the therapist's service area.
