Tanya Henderson, MD, LCSW-C, is a Maryland-licensed clinician with five years of professional experience who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She brings experience supporting clients with LGBTQ+-related concerns, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and career challenges. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to meet each person’s unique needs.

Tanya understands that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life requires courage. She offers steady support throughout the process and works collaboratively to set goals that reflect each client’s priorities. As an MD, she holds a medical degree, and as an LCSW-C she carries a clinical social work license that reflects training in therapy and clinical practice. Tanya aims to create a therapeutic space where practical coping strategies and personal values come together to promote growth and resilience.

Her work is tailored to the individual, with an emphasis on building motivation, improving self-worth, and addressing career and interpersonal difficulties. Clients who seek help for anxiety, identity-related issues, or grief will find an attentive practitioner who meets them with empathy and a clear focus on their specific goals.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy and What to Expect

Tanya often uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions; this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and clarifying personal goals. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and improve coping with stress. Mindfulness Therapy complements these methods by teaching present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that can help with emotional regulation and lingering grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tanya works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess what feels most useful and adjust the plan over time to support progress.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity during transitions. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver these approaches effectively online, allowing clients to access care that aligns with their routines and supports consistent engagement.
