About Tanya

Tanya DesArmo is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people navigate stressors such as family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, grief, mood concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With 16 years of clinical experience, she centers her work on clients' strengths and their knowledge of their own stories, supporting practical steps toward greater resilience and day-to-day functioning. Her approach blends collaborative listening with evidence-informed techniques to help clients build confidence, manage anxiety and depressive symptoms, address addiction and compassion fatigue, and cope with life transitions.

Tanya also works with concerns related to adoption and foster care, abandonment, codependency, body image, caregiver stress, and financial or career strain. She emphasizes motivation and self-love as part of creating lasting change.

Practicing in Wisconsin as an LCSW, Tanya offers several remote session formats to increase accessibility. She invites people who are ready to take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life to explore a coaching-style and therapeutic partnership that honors their expertise while introducing tools for coping and growth.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with online flexibility

Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person's perspective and strengths, creating a collaborative space where the therapist listens closely and supports goals identified by the client. This approach can be especially helpful for people seeking empowerment and clearer direction when facing family conflict, life transitions, or self-esteem challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. It offers practical skills and homework-style exercises that translate well to remote work and help with day-to-day coping and structure.

Finding the right approach is a shared process; Tanya will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends listening and coaching with targeted techniques so treatment feels collaborative and adaptable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access care from different locations within Wisconsin. These formats support continuity of care, scheduling flexibility, and ongoing skill practice between meetings while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical tools and real-world application.
