01About Tanya
Tanya McClung practices a client-focused approach that centers on practical skills and personal meaning. She brings ten years of counseling experience and uses therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. Tanya lists credentials as LCMHC, MD, LCPC and is based in West Virginia.
Tanya helps people who are coping with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and relationship or family difficulties.
Background and approach
She also works with those facing life changes, low self-esteem, and chronic health challenges. Her approach emphasizes clear tools people can try between sessions to reduce symptoms and build stability. In sessions she draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities.
CBT is used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns. DBT skills are taught for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping. Tanya has additional experience with issues such as attachment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, aging and geriatric issues, autism, blended family matters, and chronic pain or illness.
She also addresses topics like dissociation, emptiness, and family of origin issues when relevant. Therapy sessions can include focused skill work, reflective conversation, and practical planning for next steps. People can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is reviewed over time.

How Tanya’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following a person’s priorities. The therapist uses open questions and reflection to help people name what matters and set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers straightforward exercises to try between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help during intense moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya will review goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and therapist collaborate on what to focus on and which skills to practice between meetings.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief updates or skill coaching into a busy day. These options help people access consistent care and build new coping habits without a long commute.
