About Tanya

Tanya Lorenzi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers her work on practical relationship skills and emotional coping. She draws on the Gottman Method alongside cognitive and acceptance-based approaches to help people handle stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles.

Background and approach

Tanya writes clearly and simply in sessions so parents and partners can use what they learn right away. Tanya's path to counseling began with intense personal challenges that changed her priorities.

She trained in counseling after health setbacks and family responsibilities led her to a new career. That life experience shapes how she listens and responds to others facing big changes.

In the therapy room she focuses on small, doable changes. That can mean building better day-to-day communication, practicing new ways to manage anger, or breaking problems into steps that feel manageable.

She also helps people facing mood disorders, trauma, ADHD, and struggles with intimacy or self-worth. Tanya emphasizes collaboration and concrete tools.

She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques and relationship work drawn from the Gottman Method to set clear goals. Sessions aim to improve coping, reduce panic or worry, and restore connection where it has frayed.

With 15 years of experience and LPC credentials in Georgia and South Carolina, she offers practical care that respects each person's pace. Tanya practices in Georgia and works with people who want straightforward, skill-focused therapy that fits into busy lives.

Evidence-informed approaches for online relationship and mood work

Gottman Method work focuses on practical communication and connection skills for partners. It emphasizes clear, teachable habits for managing conflict, rebuilding trust after breaches, and improving emotional closeness.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that align with what matters most, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Tanya will work together with each client to choose the best mix of methods. She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process and adjusts focus based on your goals, needs, and how you respond to different tools.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you practice communication skills in real time, phone can work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no camera, and chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins and flexible contact between sessions. These options let therapy fit around work, caregiving, or travel and make it easier to keep momentum between appointments.
