About Tanya

Tanya McClung is a licensed professional counselor practicing in West Virginia with 10 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, grief, and life transitions. She combines practical therapeutic techniques with a collaborative, client-centered stance to help individuals move from symptom relief toward understanding the underlying causes of their struggles.

She holds professional counseling credentials - LCMHC, MD, and LCPC - and has academic training that includes a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Professional Counseling. Tanya integrates evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with solution-focused work and client-centered principles. Her toolkit also includes neuro-linguistic programming, brainspotting, expressive arts, somatic processing, psychodrama, and meta-modeling to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Tanya has experience addressing negative self-talk, low self-esteem, mood instability, depression, challenging irrational beliefs, trauma and abuse, identity development, parenting difficulties, and problematic relationships. She also facilitates groups and family therapy when appropriate. Her approach emphasizes working with both immediate concerns and deeper patterns to support meaningful and lasting change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Tanya McClung commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic environment in which people explore their feelings and values to build self-awareness and personal growth. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. DBT combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to support those dealing with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and self-destructive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tanya works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time to respond to progress and changing circumstances.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access care without sacrificing consistency. These formats allow for flexible scheduling, quicker check-ins between sessions, and the ability to receive support from the places where clients feel most comfortable. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these tools to provide structured, goal-oriented work that fits into modern life.
