Tanya Roberts, LCSW

Tanya Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with over 20 years of experience in private practice. She has worked with a wide range of clients, from children to older adults, supporting people ages 8 to 80 who are coping with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and trauma. Her long career reflects sustained work across many life stages and presenting concerns.

Tanya brings a warm, interactive manner to therapy, balancing empathy with clear guidance. She may use gentle humor to illuminate a concern and at other times adopt a more directive stance when structure is needed. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work, aiming to create a therapeutic space that meets each person where they are.

Clinically, Tanya uses a cognitive behavioral approach - a practical, skills-focused method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - while also incorporating natural and holistic elements into treatment when appropriate. She prefers to match the treatment to the individual rather than fit the person to a single method. Taking steps toward change requires courage, and Tanya offers listening, support, and guidance throughout the process. She has availability for Better Help on Mondays and Fridays. she does her best to return messages at least once a day; however, if she is in session or working in-person on Tuesdays through Thursdays it may take several hours or until evening to respond to messages.
