About Tanya
Tanya Toyer is an LPCC and LPC with 26 years of experience in counseling in Georgia and Ohio. She works with relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Tanya also addresses specific struggles such as abandonment, attachment concerns, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Tanya uses evidence-based methods and a trauma-informed outlook in her sessions. She focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. Conversations typically look at patterns in relationships, reactions that follow traumatic events, and ways to rebuild trust in oneself.
She draws on techniques that have research support and adapts them to each person's situation. Sessions include clear goals and concrete skills to practice. Tanya aims to help people understand how past experiences shape current feelings and choices without minimizing those experiences.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with individuals who have faced abuse, losses, or family breakdown. That history informs how she approaches safety, pacing, and when to introduce specific coping strategies. Tanya also brings experience working with people affected by illness, discrimination, and pregnancy-related concerns.
People who come for help with guilt or shame can expect focused conversations about how those feelings developed and how they affect daily life. Tanya helps identify manageable changes and small behavioral steps that can reduce the weight of those feelings over time.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Many of Tanya’s methods come from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and patterns. One common approach emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that keep people stuck. This helps with depression, self-esteem issues, and guilt-related thoughts by offering concrete strategies to test and shift daily habits.Another frequent strand is trauma-informed care, which pays attention to how past harm affects present responses. This approach guides pacing and safety, and it introduces coping strategies for symptoms of post-traumatic stress and intense emotional reactions.
Choosing the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Tanya collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and the pace they need. She helps set clear short-term goals and checks in about what is or isn’t working so adjustments can be made together.
