About Tanya
Tanya Morrow is a licensed independent social worker with nearly four decades of practice. She earned a Bachelor’s degree from Ohio Wesleyan University and a Master of Science in Social Administration from Case Western Reserve University. Tanya moved from long-term community mental health roles into independent practice in 2017.
She uses straightforward, practical language in sessions and centers clients' strengths and stories. She helps people who face stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood instability.
Background and approach
Tanya also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. She pays special attention to people who identify as female or who feel marginalized or disenfranchised. Her background includes extensive work in community mental health, including a 24-year tenure at Beech Brook.
That experience shaped her skill at helping people navigate parenting strains, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and complex life transitions. She brings decades of real-world clinical practice to each conversation. Tanya blends narrative ideas with cognitive behavioral tools and attachment-focused work.
Sessions focus on understanding personal stories, testing practical strategies, and building clearer communication skills. She keeps language simple and avoids jargon so people can try new approaches between visits. People describe her style as direct but empathic, rooted in lived experience and long practice.
She offers phone and video sessions plus chat and text messaging. Tanya works from Ohio and conducts sessions in English.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Tanya directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

How narrative and skills-based approaches work online
Dialogue-led methods like Narrative Therapy help people name the stories that shape their life. Sessions look at how problems became part of a story and explore different ways to tell that story. That can be useful for issues like identity, self-esteem, and the effects of past trauma.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small actions that matter. It helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and take steps toward what they care about. This approach often fits worries about anxiety, depression, and motivation.
Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early relationships affect current connections and reactions. Work here looks at patterns in relationships and tries out new ways of relating and communicating, which can help with intimacy and caregiver stress.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs. Together you can adapt techniques when something isn’t working and build practical steps to try between sessions.
Online therapy with Tanya includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and text are helpful for brief updates, check-ins, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
