Katiuska Tanner , LMHC

Katiuska Tanner often references an Arthur Ashe quote about the difference between making a living and making a life, and that sentiment guides her work with clients. She focuses on helping people feel safe, move through stressors, increase self-awareness, and develop healthier coping skills so they can find greater stability and wellbeing.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), she has provided therapeutic care to adults, adolescents, and children across a range of settings, including outpatient work in homes and hospitals, inpatient care for stabilization, and school-based services. Her experience includes facilitating group, individual, and family therapy, and before moving into direct therapeutic practice she supported people facing mental health, emotional, and substance-use challenges as a case manager from 2006 until she began providing therapy in 2012.

Tanner uses a Cognitive Behavioral approach to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, build practical skills, and pursue a more balanced life - a process she frames as seeking inner peace and stability. She offers support through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging and works collaboratively with each person to begin or continue the process of creating a meaningful life.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online

Katiuska Tanner commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, mood, and behavior. This approach focuses on concrete strategies that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She also has experience with family therapy, working with parents, caregivers, and other family members to improve communication, solve problems together, and strengthen relationships when family dynamics contribute to distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tanner works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time so therapy fits the client rather than expecting the client to fit a single method. This partnership helps determine which evidence-based techniques will be most helpful.

Online therapy gives clients flexibility to connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from different locations. Licensed professionals can deliver many effective therapeutic interventions remotely, and these options support ongoing access, consistency, and convenience for people seeking help.
