She practices from Florida and offers practical, straightforward support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strains, and addiction concerns. Tansie aims to listen first and then work alongside each person to set goals that feel useful and realistic.

Background and approach

Those training experiences inform a broad approach to common problems like communication breakdowns, commitment worries, and parenting stress. Tansie uses a mix of methods tailored to each person. She draws on Existential therapy to look at meaning and choice, Attachment-based work to understand relationship patterns, and Client-centered strategies to prioritize the client's perspective.

She also uses cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused ideas when they fit the goals of therapy. Sessions aim to help people gain insight, improve communication, and make clearer decisions about relationships, work, or life changes. Her focus areas include abandonment, codependency, infidelity, blended family issues, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and substance-related problems among others.

Therapy can include counseling and coaching elements, depending on what someone needs that week. Tansie emphasizes respect for each person's values and beliefs while helping them find ways to move forward.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice, and personal values. Online sessions can use these conversations to help people clarify what matters to them and make decisions when life feels uncertain.

Attachment-based work focuses on understanding how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Through video or phone sessions, the therapist and client can track patterns in thinking and behavior and practice new ways of relating that improve communication and closeness.

Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client's experience and pace. In online meetings the therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection so each person can explore concerns at their own speed.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and nonverbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat can provide quicker check-ins, and messaging suits short updates or ongoing support. These options provide flexibility to fit work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or travel.
