About Tania
Tania Griswold is an MA, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience based in Massachusetts. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns. She also addresses guilt and shame as part of her practice. She speaks English and Portuguese.
She helps people untangle persistent shame and guilt that follow mistakes, faith conflicts, or long‑standing family patterns. Sessions focus on clearer thinking, better communication, and practical steps that reduce overwhelm. Tania uses a collaborative, person-centered way of working that keeps sessions straightforward and focused on the client’s immediate concerns.
Her work often includes supporting people through panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and the fallout from divorce or separation. She also offers help with body image, control issues, isolation, and finding life purpose. Conversations may involve exploring patterns, learning breathing or grounding skills for panic, and practicing different ways to communicate difficult feelings.
Tania describes her role as guiding clients toward greater self-love and clearer life direction. She aims to help people notice old patterns and try new responses that feel more manageable. Her bilingual ability in English and Portuguese can be useful for people who prefer to discuss sensitive topics in either language.

How evidence‑based approaches translate to online sessions
Many clinicians describe their methods as evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Two approaches commonly used in that category are skills-based work and trauma-focused interventions. Skills-based work teaches specific tools like breathing, grounding, and communication practices to manage panic, anxiety, or overwhelming guilt. Trauma-focused work involves careful processing of distressing memories and learning ways to reduce reactivity over time.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That can mean trying a short skills focus first, then moving to deeper processing if needed, or combining methods to suit the problem at hand.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when life is hectic. They also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid camera use when that helps concentration. Talk with the therapist during the matching step to understand formats, pacing, and how sessions will be structured to fit everyday life.
