Tanya Roberts, LCSW

Tanya Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with more than 20 years of experience providing therapy in private practice. She has supported a wide range of people, from children to older adults, helping those who struggle with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and trauma.

Her clinical approach is warm and interactive, adapting to each person she meets. She may use humor to gently illuminate concerns, and at times will take a more directive stance to help clients move forward. Tanya emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction and believes in meeting people where they are rather than forcing them into a single treatment model.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy - a structured, evidence-informed approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - and also incorporates natural and holistic elements when appropriate. Tanya prioritizes tailoring treatment to fit each individual’s needs, preferences, and life context.

Tanya recognizes that seeking change takes courage and she offers steady support and guidance throughout the process. She has availability for Better Help on Mondays and Fridays. She aims to return messages at least once a day, though responses may take longer if she is in session or working in person on Tuesdays through Thursdays.

CBT and Holistic Support Available Remotely

Tanya commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges because it focuses on concrete skills and steps clients can apply between sessions.

She also integrates natural and holistic techniques when they fit a client's needs, bringing in lifestyle, relaxation, and mind-body strategies to complement structured work. These blended methods can support emotional balance and resilience alongside targeted therapeutic exercises.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tanya works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and she adjusts methods as progress is made to find the best fit.

Online therapy with Tanya is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for scheduling flexibility and easier access from home, work, or while traveling. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
