Katiuska Tanner, LMHC

Katiuska Tanner draws professional purpose from a belief that meaningful work comes from what one gives, an idea she often links to an Arthur Ashe quote. She is committed to helping people feel safe, navigate stressors, build insight, and develop practical coping skills to support healthier, more balanced lives.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), she has provided therapeutic services in a variety of settings, including outpatient care in homes and hospitals, inpatient units for individuals needing stabilization, and school-based programs. Her experience includes delivering group, individual, and family therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. Before becoming a therapist, she worked as a Case Manager from 2006 until she began providing therapy in 2012, assisting people facing mental, emotional, and substance use challenges.

Her work centers on a cognitive behavioral therapeutic approach, which focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior and teaching skills to create more adaptive responses. She aims to help clients find stability and greater peace through practical tools and increased self-awareness. Katiuska offers support through multiple remote channels, including text, chat, phone, and video, to accommodate different needs and preferences.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Katiuska Tanner uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. This approach teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and problematic habits by focusing on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions.

She also incorporates family-focused work when appropriate, helping families and partners improve communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen relationships through structured, goal-oriented sessions that involve multiple family members.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Katiuska, as an LMHC, works together with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care without lengthy travel, and they allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support and skill-building in ways that suit each client.
