How can you provide care remotely?
I provide care remotely through secure, HIPAA-compliant channels, such as phone, video, and chat, giving clients access to therapy from the comfort and privacy of their own space. This ensures both convenience and the highest level of confidentiality in care.
My path to becoming a therapist is deeply personal. Over the years, I have experienced grief, loss, divorce, trauma, abuse, and major life transitions in my own journey. These experiences not only shaped my understanding of suffering but also deepened my heart for walking with others who find themselves in painful or uncertain seasons. I know firsthand how overwhelming life can feel, and I also see the hope and restoration that can come through faith, healing, and connection. In addition to my personal journey, I have spent many years as a social worker in the hospice field, supporting individuals and families through end-of-life care, loss, and the grieving process. These experiences deepened my calling to create a safe and compassionate space for people in their most vulnerable moments. They also strengthened my belief that healing is possible even in seasons of sorrow, especially when we lean on faith and community. Today, as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals through grief, loss, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and faith-centered—grounded in the belief that every person is created in God’s image and deeply loved by Him. At Connect & Restore Therapy, I blend evidence-based practices with Christian values, offering a safe space where you can process your story, rediscover your strength, and move forward with clarity and peace. It is my privilege to walk alongside you, not only as a therapist but also as someone who has walked through valleys and experienced God’s grace and renewal firsthand. Together, we can lean into hope and pursue the healing and restoration God desires for your life. As Scripture reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18).

How can you provide care remotely?
I offer secure, face-to-face telehealth sessions by video from your phone or computer. Since COVID-19, many people have transitioned to online therapy—and we’ve learned it not only works, it often fits life better. You receive high-quality, evidence-based care without traffic or parking hassles, and you can settle in at home with what soothes you—your pets, a favorite blanket, a cup of tea. We’ll use a HIPAA-compliant platform, simple setup guidance, and (when helpful) interactive tools, so sessions feel private, comfortable, and effective. For many, this format increases consistency, reduces stress, and keeps support accessible during busy weeks, travel, or bad weather. Please note that payment options include Aetna insurance for residents of FL, MD, NY, and TX, and Self-Pay in 42 states. Please note that Dr. Tania accepts all Aetna HMO and PPO plans in FL except CVS Health Aetna. For other insurances besides Aetna, services would be considered "Out-of-Network" (OON). The practice can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
Welcome! I’m Dr. Tania, a passionate and skilled licensed clinical psychologist who provides personalized, knowledgeable, and compassionate mental health services. I weave together my strong clinical experience and my authentic presence with my patient’s desire to make a change, enabling lasting growth and healing to occur. I am an experienced clinician with a strong educational and training background. I have practiced in various settings, treating a broad spectrum of symptoms, concerns, and presentations. My experience and knowledge are well integrated with connection, relationships, and my genuine caring presence.  I am an independently practicing licensed clinical psychologist in Florida (license #PY12013), New York (license # 026156-01), Maryland (license #06995), and Texas (license #40010 ). In addition, I hold a PSYPACT license (APIT #15089), which is an interstate compact designed to facilitate the practice of telepsychology & telehealth across state boundaries, allowing me to work with individuals who reside in 42+ states across the United States. I offer telehealth services for individuals in the following states: AL, AZ, AR, CO, CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, ME, MD, MI, MN, MO, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NC, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV, WI, WY. I see all patients exclusively via telehealth at this time.  I am dedicated to helping my patients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and their strengths and helping them understand and discover what drives their actions and behaviors. I take pride in providing high-quality, compassionate, empirically-based care rooted in my extensive doctoral education and extensive ongoing professional development.  Services Offered My experience has equipped me to provide an array of mental health services tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs. These services include individual therapy, couples therapy, psychological assessments—specializing in ADHD—vocational and career assessments, as well as sports psychology and performance enhancement for high-performers, including C-Suite executives, athletes, artists, and medical professionals.   Individual Therapy: I work with adults and adolescents experiencing various challenges, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, phobias, eating disorders, body image issues, internet and social media addictions, relationship and interpersonal difficulties, obsessions, compulsions, perfectionism, burnout, insomnia, and other psychological presentations within the human experience. I also support individuals navigating life transitions, communication challenges, attachment difficulties, relational concerns, and complex family dynamics. Services are rooted in evidence-based approaches and treatment is infused with compassion and care. Couples Therapy: As a therapist trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy Levels 1 and 2, I offer couples therapy grounded in the most comprehensive, evidence-based approach available today. Psychological Assessments: I provide a wide range of psychological testing and assessments, including comprehensive ADHD/ADD evaluations, documentation for LSAT/MCAT/GRE/SAT accommodations, diagnosis clarification, ESA letters, giftedness/IQ testing, assessments for academic concerns, and career/vocational evaluations. Please note that my practice does not prescribe psychotropic medications. However, I collaborate closely with psychiatrists and can provide referrals if needed.  My Theoretical Orientation I provide high-quality mental health services that are both scientifically grounded and deeply compassionate, fostering a friendly, accepting, and inclusive environment for all patients. My extensive training spans various therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, as well as cognitive-behavioral treatments like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based CBT (MB-CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and manualized treatments for insomnia, phobias, and PTSD. I also enjoy incorporating Positive Psychology, Interpersonal/Relational Therapy, Existential-Humanistic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to support meaningful change. I approach mental health from a holistic perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual facets. I am committed to providing a compassionate listening space where you are invited to reflect and explore yourself, understanding your deepest challenges and strengths. Through patient listening, reflecting, shared inquiry, and various evidence based interventions, I strive to help you become more aware of your patterns and thoughts, fostering greater self-understanding and clarity. My goal is to support you in making meaningful and skillful choices that align with your true self.  My Therapeutic Style My approach to mental health, in general, is characterized by an accepting and caring environment that is collaborative in nature. I am authentic, down-to-earth, intentional, and spontaneous in session, which lends itself to a truly collaborative and growth-promoting experience. Therapy with me is a collaborative, action-oriented process providing you the opportunity to foster new perspectives, discover your inherent worth, tap into your inner resources, and develop your capacity for resilience and new skills. I enjoy working from a holistic yet evidence-based approach.  I show up authentically for each patient, and I value transparency and provide my full presence. Patients who work with me can expect to explore feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, understand memories, process destructive relationships, and identify dysfunction, which will lead to a better understanding of themselves and others. During therapy, there is an ongoing effort to develop effective coping skills, decrease emotional distress, improve functioning, and resolve symptoms and problems. Each therapy session is a balance of meeting your present needs and long-term goals. Collaboratively, we will deepen your understanding of yourself your reactions to various emotions and, increase your psychological flexibility and create new perspectives.  My Wishes for You I wish you a life full of love, happiness, fulfillment and health. I am committed to helping you build and find it! It is my greatest honor to accompany my patients on their journey toward deeper self-awareness, growth, the emergence from suffering while becoming a meaningful part of my patient’s lives. Warmly, Dr. Tania

How do you provide care remotely, and what makes it effective?
I provide therapy entirely through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth, so you can have sessions from a space where you feel comfortable and at ease. For many clients, being able to talk from home makes therapy feel more natural and easier to fit into real life. What makes virtual therapy effective, in my experience, is the relationship—not the room we’re sitting in. I prioritize being present, engaged, and genuinely connected with you while keeping sessions conversational, intentional, and focused on what you need.
I work with adults who are thoughtful, self-aware, and ready for something to change but may feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, overthinking, difficulty setting boundaries, or struggling to say what they really mean. Maybe you’re constantly considering everyone else’s feelings before your own, questioning whether you’re asking for too much, or realizing that the way you’ve been doing things just isn’t working anymore. Our sessions are conversational, honest, and collaborative. We’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and work on the things that matter in your day-to-day life not just talk about them. Sometimes that means processing and reflecting; sometimes it means getting practical and figuring out what you’re going to say, what boundary you need, or what step comes next. You don’t need to come to therapy with everything figured out. You just need to be willing to get curious about yourself. From there, we’ll work together.

How do you provide care remotely, and what makes it effective?
I provide therapy through secure, confidential video sessions, allowing you to receive support from a comfortable and convenient location. My goal is to create the same warm, personal, and supportive environment virtually that you would experience in an in-person session. Remote therapy can be effective because it makes it easier to fit care into your daily life while still allowing us to build a strong therapeutic relationship. During sessions, we’ll talk openly about your concerns, explore patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward goals that are meaningful to you. I strive to make each session engaging, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. Even though we may be meeting through a screen, you can expect genuine connection, compassion, and a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported.
As a LMSW, I am passionate about creating a supportive and welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about the challenges you’re facing. I have experience helping individuals navigate substance use, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and other mental health concerns. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and focused on meeting you where you are. Together, we can identify your goals, build practical coping skills, and develop strategies that support meaningful change. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as you work toward greater emotional well-being and a healthier, more fulfilling life.

How can you provide care remotely?
Sessions are conducted through a HIPAA-compliant, secure platform. Clients receive a private link to join each session. Online therapy can be a great option for individuals who need flexibility due to busy schedules, live in areas with limited access to in-person care, or feel comfortable meeting virtually. The quality of care provided via telehealth, from me, is the same as in-person services. Because virtual therapy is not appropriate for every situation, I conduct a thorough screening process to ensure telehealth is a safe and effective option. Online therapy may not be suitable for individuals experiencing active suicidal or homicidal thoughts (within the past 3–12 months), ongoing self-harm behaviors, domestic violence situations, active psychosis, severe mental health crises, or significant discomfort with technology. In these cases, a higher level of care or in-person services may be recommended.
