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 and a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Xavier University in Cincinnati. Tanya is trained in a range of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), internal family systems (IFS), Rogerian or client-centered approaches, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused methods, and experiential techniques.

Tanya approaches therapy from the belief that people are naturally wired to seek balance between body, mind, and spirit, but that life stressors - such as relationships, work, health, finances, and broader societal events - can disrupt that equilibrium. When stress, loss, or major change make it hard to cope, she frames therapy as a guided journey in which the client is supported and challenged to grow. Tanya helps clients explore new insights, question outdated beliefs and patterns, address old wounds, and build practical coping skills to manage current difficulties and strengthen resilience for the future.

Her style blends empathy with evidence-informed interventions, aiming to help individuals reclaim stability and move forward with clearer purpose and improved coping capacity.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Tanya draws from several established approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connection patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses - it helps when struggles involve trust, closeness, or abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy, rooted in the Rogerian tradition, emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can explore their own goals and solutions at their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tanya works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into busy lives. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow clients to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from locations that are convenient for them, supporting continuity of care and accessibility.
