Tanya Baker

Tanya Baker is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with 22 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, or big life changes. Tanya focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable and clearer decisions easier to reach.

She encourages people to notice their strengths and use them when times are hard. Sessions are a chance to talk through what’s happening now, sort out painful feelings, and try small experiments to see what helps. Tanya aims for straightforward language and clear next steps so clients leave with something useful to try between meetings.

Over two decades in practice have brought exposure to a wide range of concerns, including panic attacks, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, isolation and issues around self-worth. She also supports people facing workplace strain, questions about sexuality, and concerns commonly described as women’s issues. Her perspective is rooted in real-world problem solving rather than jargon.

Tanya works with each person at their own pace and tailors conversations to immediate needs like coping with guilt, managing impulsivity, or finding life purpose. She sees therapy as collaborative - she listens, offers observations, and helps clients test new ways of responding.

If you want to begin, she directs people to a simple start process that matches them to a therapist and schedules sessions. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Tanya’s approaches work in online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often focus on clear, practical actions people can try between sessions. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage strong feelings and anxiety through breathing, pacing, and testing small behavioral changes. This can reduce panic and make daily tasks feel less overwhelming.

Another approach centers on clarifying values and goals to guide choices about career, relationships, and life direction. It helps people sort competing priorities, notice what matters most, and take steps that align with those values. That approach is useful for midlife shifts, career moves, and searching for life purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Conversations begin with what feels most urgent and adapt as progress is made.

The biography does not list which online formats are used, so confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by saving commute time, allowing shorter check-ins on a break, or removing the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to help people practice skills, process events, and set realistic next steps that fit everyday routines.
