About Tania
Tania Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar mood swings, depression, or big life changes. Her approach is calm and respectful, aimed at making the first steps feel manageable.
Tania uses practical conversation and focused planning to address immediate concerns. She listens for patterns that get in the way of daily life and helps clients build small, workable strategies.
Background and approach
Sessions are adapted to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She has three years of professional experience working with people facing relationship strain, caregiving stress, body image worries, and issues tied to abandonment or attachment. She also supports people dealing with cancer-related stress, divorce, domestic violence aftermath, and feelings of emptiness.
Those concerns inform how she frames goals in sessions. Tania emphasizes clear communication and collaborative goal setting. Clients can expect straightforward talk about what matters most to them and practical steps to try between sessions.
She focuses on helping people notice what helps and what does not, then adjusts plans as needed. Sessions are offered in English and structured to fit different rhythms of life. Tania aims to empower people to make changes at a pace that feels achievable while offering steady support along the way.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Two evidence-based techniques often used in this practice are brief problem-focused interventions and mood regulation strategies. Brief problem-focused work zeroes in on a specific worry or obstacle, breaking it into steps and testing small changes between sessions; it helps with daily stressors, communication problems, and immediate coping skills. Mood regulation strategies teach practical ways to recognize mood shifts and respond with routines or actions that reduce overwhelm, which can be useful for depression and bipolar symptom management.Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they try an approach, check progress, and change course when needed so the plan fits the person rather than the person fitting the plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send messages between sessions or use brief check-ins during the day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or treatment routines while keeping a steady, collaborative process.
