About Tanya
Dr. Tanya Harrell is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She uses an existential and humanistic outlook to help people name what matters to them.
Her style is compassionate and direct, aimed at helping people find purpose and stronger coping tools for life's ups and downs. She draws on seven years of clinical experience working with people from diverse backgrounds. That experience includes supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual trauma, and working with homeless families and children.
Background and approach
She combines practical methods with a focus on meaning to meet each person where they are. In sessions she helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and substance concerns. She also addresses eating and sleeping issues, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and symptoms of ADHD.
Her additional focus areas include attachment struggles, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and body image concerns. Therapy often blends existential thinking with cognitive behavioral techniques. This means clients talk about their values and life direction while also learning concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She emphasizes understanding each problem from the client's point of view and tailoring the work to fit individual needs. Dr. Harrell welcomes conversations about career changes, compassion fatigue, and navigating life transitions.
She aims to help people recognize strengths, build practical skills, and move toward clearer goals.

Approaches for Meaning and Practical Change Online
Existential Therapy helps people examine purpose, values, and the big questions that shape daily life. It can be useful when someone feels stuck, faces loss, or is rethinking goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values; it is helpful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy, trust, and caregiver stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together decide what methods to try. Sessions are collaborative - clients and the therapist adjust the plan as needs change to find what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions fit when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, brief coaching between sessions, or when writing about feelings helps. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
