Tanea Couther

Tanea Couther is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland with 11 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and major life changes. She aims to listen with respect and compassion while tailoring care to each person’s situation.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions center on clear goals and practical steps that fit day-to-day life. She emphasizes honest conversation and checks in about what is or is not working as therapy progresses.

Tanea draws on several therapy approaches to guide sessions. She uses client-centered techniques to build a trusting space, cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity and manage intense feelings. These methods are blended to match each person’s needs.

People come to her for a range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including grief, anger, compassion fatigue, attachment or communication problems, and questions about life purpose. She also supports those coping with family problems, infidelity, and the effects of past trauma.

Beginning therapy with her involves a practical focus on doable changes. She works with clients to set small targets, practice new skills between sessions, and revise the plan as progress is made. This approach is aimed at helping people find clearer direction and more stability during life transitions.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and adjusts pacing to what feels comfortable. This approach is helpful when someone needs a steady, accepting space to sort through life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. It often includes short exercises and homework to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood challenges. DBT skills add practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication during stressful times.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose and adjust methods based on individual goals, daily routines, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits real life.

If you are considering online care, confirm the current session options before booking. The platform and session type should be checked so you know how you’ll connect. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins that support ongoing skill practice.
