About Tanaya

LCSW in California with three years of clinical experience, Tanaya Reid focuses on relationship challenges, LGBT concerns, family stress, grief, and adapting to major life changes. She works with individuals who need practical support during transitions and relationship strain. Sessions emphasize clear goals and straightforward strategies to manage emotions and daily pressures.

Tanaya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make sense of their experience. She listens for patterns in relationships and communication, then helps clients try different ways of responding. Work often includes practicing new skills and checking what actually changes between sessions.

She aims to be culturally responsive and attentive to identity-related issues that affect how people relate and cope. That can mean talking through experiences of exclusion, exploring relationship roles, or naming losses that matter. The focus stays on what the client wants to change and how to get there.

Treatment plans are collaborative and pragmatic. Goals are set together, steps are tracked, and approaches are adjusted if something is not working. Sessions balance discussion with concrete exercises clients can use between meetings.

Tanaya communicates in English and practices in California under the title LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Her work is geared toward adults facing transitions, relationship difficulties, family tension, and bereavement.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Tanaya practices using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what works in everyday life. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful relationship patterns and trying new communication strategies in real situations; it is useful for relationship strain and family conflict. Another approach focuses on building concrete coping skills for grief and life changes, such as grounding exercises and planning short manageable steps to reduce overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend approaches to try. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted based on what the client finds useful.

Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let clients continue work when life changes would otherwise interrupt in-person care. Licensed professionals generally use the first session to agree on practical matters like session length, frequency, and what to try between meetings.
