Approaches and online care with Tanya McClung
Tanya McClung often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) alongside client-centered principles. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and is a strong fit for mood instability and intense emotional reactions. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client’s perspective, offering a supportive, collaborative environment for exploring identity, relationships, and personal values.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the treatment process. Tanya works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques and blending methods as appropriate so the plan fits each person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy with Tanya is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to maintain regular appointments around work, family, and other commitments, and support ongoing skill practice between sessions. Licensed professionals and therapists can effectively use these formats to deliver structured interventions, coping skills training, and supportive counseling tailored to the client’s daily life.
