About Tanya

Dr. Tanya Harrell brings a humanistic, client-centered stance to therapy, blending acceptance and practical strategies to help people navigate life’s challenges.

Background and approach

She uses approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside attachment-informed work to support clients in identifying values, shifting unhelpful patterns, and building coping skills. With seven years of clinical experience, she draws on a background that includes supporting people affected by trauma, domestic violence, and homelessness.

Dr. Harrell practices as an LPC in Louisiana and frames her work around compassion and empathy, aiming to understand concerns from each person’s perspective.

Her clinical focus spans a wide range of issues such as stress, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, relationship and intimacy matters, parenting and family-related challenges, eating and sleeping problems, addiction, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also attends to complex themes like attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care, and recovery after separation or loss.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that honors personal values and strengths while offering concrete tools for change. Dr.

Harrell emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as central to progress and works with each individual to tailor interventions that fit their situation and goals.

Integrating evidence-informed approaches into online therapy

Dr. Harrell frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and commit to behaviors that bring greater meaning while learning to accept difficult internal experiences. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and modify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and behavioral concerns. Both approaches are practical and focus on building actions that align with a person’s goals and values.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may integrate techniques from different modalities over time so that therapy remains tailored and responsive.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it possible to access consistent care with flexibility. These options allow clients to schedule sessions around work and family commitments, maintain continuity during transitions, and use different communication styles according to what feels most helpful for their therapeutic work.
