Tania Griswold

Tania Griswold is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship difficulties. She focuses on building self-love, improving communication, and finding clearer direction in life. She speaks English and Portuguese, which can help when cultural context matters.

She works with people dealing with trauma, isolation, social anxiety, guilt, and shame. She also supports those coping with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, divorce and separation, and body image struggles. Sessions emphasize practical steps you can try between meetings and clearer thinking in stressful moments.

Tania takes a collaborative, person-centered approach. She meets people where they are and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to create a plan together. The work often includes identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing new ways to communicate, and developing self-compassion.

With 20 years of experience as an MA LMHC - Master of Arts, Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she brings long-term practice to the room. That background informs how she helps people untangle long-standing patterns and respond differently to triggers.

A typical early phase of work involves clarifying goals and trying small, manageable changes. Over time those steps aim to reduce intense moments, improve relationships, and increase a sense of purpose. Tania aims to make therapy straightforward and relevant to everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Many of the techniques Tania uses come from evidence-based therapeutic approaches that help with anxiety, trauma, and self-image. One common approach focuses on gradual exposure and skills practice to reduce panic and social anxiety; it breaks fears into small steps and builds confidence through repeated practice. Another approach emphasizes developing self-compassion and changing unhelpful thinking patterns to lessen depression, guilt, and shame by identifying negative thoughts and testing them against everyday experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tania collaborates with each person to decide which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress unfolds.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time, which makes regular check-ins easier to keep. Online sessions can also allow for shorter or more frequent touchpoints when life gets intense. Because this profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking to make sure they fit your routine.
