About Tanya
Tanya Baker is a licensed mental health counselor in Indiana with 22 years of experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and career concerns. Tanya speaks English and welcomes clients from outside the U.S. through online sessions.
She helps people facing life transitions and those needing support with making difficult decisions. Sessions look at what is getting in the way of feeling more confident and settled.
Background and approach
Tanya draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and workplace strain. Many clients come for help with feelings tied to abandonment, guilt and shame, control issues, or impulsivity. She also supports people dealing with isolation, midlife questions, finding life purpose, or sexuality and women’s issues.
Veteran and armed forces concerns are also among her focus areas. Tanya takes a practical, conversational approach. She aims to make therapy a place to tell your story, notice patterns, and try small changes that add up.
Sessions can include short-term problem solving or longer work on deeper patterns, depending on what a person needs. To begin, she encourages a clear first step and ongoing collaboration. The work proceeds at a pace that fits each person’s life and goals, with regular check-ins on progress and adjustments as needed.
Approaches that guide online care
Tanya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression; this work often includes small experiments and skill practice between sessions. Another approach concentrates on coping with trauma and intense reactions by building safety, learning grounding skills, and developing ways to tolerate strong emotions so daily life feels more manageable.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya partners with each person to decide which method fits their goals, needs, and pace. That collaborative process can include trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls let you meet face to face; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while maintaining consistent progress.
