About Tanya

Dr. Tanya Harrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with seven years of clinical experience. She blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other life challenges.

Her manner is warm and direct, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood. She creates a space where clients can talk about trauma, grief, relationship pain, addiction, and parenting struggles. Sessions focus on identifying feelings, building coping skills, and improving how people relate to themselves and others.

Background and approach

Dr. Harrell uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches alongside emotion-focused work. Her background includes working with people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and homelessness.

That experience shaped a flexible, human-centered style that attends to safety and practical needs. She also has experience addressing attachment issues, abandonment, and adoption and foster care concerns. Dr.

Harrell often helps with sleep and eating struggles, attention concerns such as ADHD, mood conditions including bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue for caregivers. She supports people dealing with life transitions, career stress, and identity-related questions including LGBT concerns. In sessions she listens first, then helps clients try small, manageable changes.

The goal is clearer choices and steadier coping. People who want a blend of emotional processing and skills-based tools may find her approach useful.

Online support

Emotion and Skills Work Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and sit with core feelings that drive relationship patterns and personal distress. It can be useful for grief, intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns, and strong emotional reactions that keep repeating.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people relate now. It can help with abandonment worries, attachment issues, and the way stress shows up in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may blend emotion-focused work with values-based and behavior-focused tools to match what feels most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth emotion work and visual cues, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging can fit quick check-ins or brief skill practice. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel and can help keep continuity of care when life is busy.
