Dr. Tanya Harrell, LPC

Dr. Tanya Harrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends humanistic and existential ideas with practical tools. She focuses on helping people make sense of hard moments and move toward clearer purpose. Her style is compassionate and direct, aimed at uncovering strengths and resources people already have.

She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-informed work to address concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. Sessions tend to be collaborative. The goal is to understand problems from the client's point of view and then find workable steps forward.

Her experience includes counseling adults and children, and work with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and various trauma. She has also supported people in homeless family programs, which shaped her practical perspective on coping and resilience.

Dr. Harrell helps people facing parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress. People who struggle with eating, sleeping, intimacy, or identity questions may find this approach clear and straightforward.

Her practice in Louisiana is informed by seven years of clinical work. She aims to meet people where they are, listen without judgment, and create a plan that fits a person’s daily life and goals.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Dr. Harrell uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered ideas. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and commit to actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current trust and closeness, which can be useful for intimacy, relationship strain, and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than prescribing a single method from the start.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, avoid travel time, and keep appointments during work or caregiving breaks. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins while others allow longer, deeper conversations, so the therapist will discuss what works best for your routine and needs.
