Tanya McClung, LCMHC, LCPC

Tanya McClung is a licensed counselor practicing in West Virginia. She holds the credentials LCMHC and LCPC and brings ten years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Tanya aims to make therapy approachable and practical for busy lives.

Tanya usually begins by listening closely to what matters most to each person. She focuses on thoughts and behaviors that keep problems alive and works with clients to try different ways of responding. Sessions emphasize simple skills as well as deeper understanding of life patterns.

Her training background includes a Bachelor of Social Work from Concord University and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. Over the past decade she has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, identity concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and self-esteem struggles.

Tanya uses a mix of approaches that fit each person’s needs rather than a single technique. She draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior ideas, and broader existential and Jungian perspectives to help clarify meaning and build coping skills.

People can expect clear communication, practical exercises between sessions, and attention to both current symptoms and the life events that shaped them. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching steps and schedule a first session based on the therapist’s availability.

How different therapy approaches work online

Tanya draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation so clients feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs support sorting feelings and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that maintain anxiety or depression. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills for strong moods and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Tanya will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts methods if something isn’t helping.

Confirm what session formats are currently offered before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use written exercises and skill practices between meetings to reinforce what they learn in sessions.
