About Tanya
Dr. Tanya Harrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction issues, and relationship struggles, including concerns related to codependency and attachment. Her practice also addresses trauma, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and life transitions.
She describes her core approach as humanistic and existential, which means she focuses on what matters to each person and helps them notice choices they can make. She also uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused rather than strictly directive.
Dr. Harrell has worked with people who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, homelessness, and other traumatic events. That background informs how she responds to fear, safety needs, and the slow rebuilding of daily routines. She brings experience supporting people with caregiving stress, attachment concerns, and mood differences such as bipolar disorder.
In the room she listens for what the person values and where they feel stuck. She helps people name patterns - for example leaning into others at their own expense - and then practices concrete steps to shift those patterns. Practical skills, clearer boundaries, and steady check-ins are common parts of her work.
Sessions are offered in English and Dr. Harrell accepts international clients. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.
How sessions work
Remote sessions using ACT, attachment work, and CBT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take action toward them, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and patterns of people-pleasing. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection patterns and helps people try new ways of relating when trust or boundaries are difficult.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to interrupt unhelpful cycles. That can be helpful for managing mood, anxiety, and repetitive behaviors tied to codependent patterns. Dr. Harrell brings these approaches into conversation so clients can test what fits them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and pace. Sessions can include skill practice, values clarification, and relationship-focused exercises depending on what the client wants to work on.
The biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example scheduling during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a shorter check-in when time is limited. Licensed professionals often adapt session length and pacing to suit everyday demands while keeping focus on practical steps and steady progress.
