Tanya Greene , LICSW

Tanya Greene brings more than 15 years of clinical experience as a LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. Her career spans acute and residential settings, court and correctional environments, in-home work, and clinic-based practice, giving her a broad perspective on complex client needs. She has supported both groups and individuals facing homelessness, mental health concerns, substance use, and brain injury, and she approaches each person with respect for their unique story and circumstances.

Greene has a particular commitment to Veterans and caregivers, honoring the sacrifices these individuals make and the specific stresses they often carry. Her specialties include grief, self-esteem work, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue, with additional focus areas that range from body image and caregiver stress to hospice and end-of-life counseling, life purpose, veteran and Armed Forces issues, and traumatic brain injury.

She rejects one-size-fits-all solutions, preferring instead to learn about a person’s goals, passions, and challenges before co-creating an actionable plan. Working collaboratively, she helps clients identify what matters most to them and builds practical steps to move closer to the life they envision.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Tanya Greene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are tailored to each person’s needs. One common approach focuses on grief work - offering a safe space to process loss, honor emotions, and develop coping strategies so grief can be integrated into daily life. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for life changes and self-esteem - practical exercises and coaching help clients identify values, set achievable goals, and build resilience when facing transitions or identity shifts. She also addresses compassion fatigue through strategies that restore balance, clarify boundaries, and renew a sense of purpose for caregivers and helping professionals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Licensed professionals and therapists collaborate with clients to determine which techniques match a person’s goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a predetermined method.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - video calls allow for face-to-face connection, phone sessions provide a simpler option when video is impractical, and live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to check in between sessions. These formats can make it simpler to fit consistent care into a busy life and to access support from familiar surroundings.
