01About Tanea
Tanea Couther brings 11 years of clinical experience to her Maryland practice. She holds an MD and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential, and she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can begin to feel heard and less overwhelmed.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skills practice and clear steps to try between meetings. The goal is steady progress, not instant fixes. Tanea draws on client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person's values and experiences.
She also uses cognitive-behavioral tools to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness exercises are added when emotion regulation and stress tolerance are priorities. People come to her for relationship concerns, attachment and communication problems, and struggles with guilt, shame, or emptiness.
She also supports those coping with panic, mood disorders, and the aftereffects of abuse or major losses. Conversations are focused, practical, and paced to fit individual readiness. When starting, clients can expect clear explanations, gentle challenges, and tasks to practice outside sessions.
Tanea emphasizes collaboration - she and the client set goals together and check progress along the way. That shared work helps people move toward greater clarity and more workable day-to-day coping.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening first and following each person's lead. It helps people feel understood and lets the therapist build plans around what matters most to the client.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving stress tolerance. It can be helpful when people struggle with impulsivity, overwhelming feelings, or relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit goals, preferences, and life demands. That teamwork helps adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls let people have a longer, face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a brief check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter updates or ongoing check-ins between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can keep momentum while balancing day-to-day responsibilities.
