Tanya Younce, LPCC

Tanya Younce is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with more than 20 years of experience across multiple levels of mental health care. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from James Madison University in Virginia and a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Xavier University in Cincinnati. As an LPCC Tanya holds a professional counseling license that authorizes clinical practice and treatment planning in Ohio.

Tanya has trained in a range of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), internal family systems (IFS), Rogerian client-centered approaches, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused work, and experiential techniques. Her training informs a flexible, skills-based practice that attends to both immediate coping needs and longer-term personal growth.

She believes people are naturally wired to seek balance between body, mind, and spirit, but that life stressors - from relationships and work to illness and social events - can disrupt that equilibrium. When patterns of coping no longer serve, Tanya frames therapy as a guided journey. She supports clients by offering clear feedback, challenging entrenched beliefs, tending to past wounds, and helping to build practical skills for managing stress, loss, and major life changes. Her approach emphasizes insight, resilience, and tools that apply beyond the therapy sessions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Tanya draws on several well-established methods to tailor therapy to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns; it helps people understand and change interactions that lead to anxiety, distance, or fear of abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and active listening, creating a nonjudgmental space where clients explore their feelings and make their own choices - this approach supports self-esteem, identity work, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical strategies and skill-building exercises, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tanya works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in the moment, adjusting methods as progress unfolds. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to emphasize.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Tanya provides support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can choose the format that fits their life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday routines.
