About Tanya

Tanya D Mizell is an LPC with 23 years of clinical experience based in Michigan. She brings a broad background supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, grief, and ADHD among other concerns.

Background and approach

Her work has also addressed relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and caregiver stress, eating and body image concerns, and challenges related to communication, attachment, and co-occurring conditions. Tanya's training and long tenure have led her to support clients navigating both acute crises and ongoing life transitions.

Her style centers on collaboration and practical problem solving, drawing on person-centered principles alongside structured techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. She combines goal-focused strategies with attention to each person’s story, using narrative and solution-focused techniques to identify strengths and create workable steps forward.

Tanya’s approach is informed by a history of working with trauma-related situations, grief, forensic and career-related concerns, and complex presentations that include neurodevelopmental and comorbid diagnoses. She provides services in English from Michigan and uses multiple online session formats to meet different needs.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's own goals and perspectives, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and agency. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and coping skills, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify values and increase motivation to change by exploring ambivalence in a supportive, directive way.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tanya will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then recommend or combine methods that best fit the situation rather than applying a single technique. This lets the therapeutic plan evolve as progress is made.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These formats make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life, continue work during transitions, and maintain momentum between sessions while allowing licensed professionals to use the above approaches in ways that fit each client’s routine and comfort.
