About Tanea
Tanea Couther is a licensed counselor with eleven years of clinical experience based in Maryland. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She aims to meet people where they are and to speak plainly about what matters most to them.
Her approach is flexible and collaborative. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
That can mean short-term tools for anxiety or longer work on patterns that keep coming up in relationships and mood. Tanea uses a mix of methods to fit the problem at hand. She draws on client-centered work to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) ideas are used when skills and behavior changes are needed. Existential Therapy helps people talk about meaning, purpose, and choices when life feels empty or stuck. She also brings trauma-focused approaches and mindfulness exercises into sessions when they can help calm the body and steady thinking.
Many people find concrete coping skills helpful alongside deeper reflection about values and life direction. Tanea works in English and offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based sessions. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s calendar.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online care
Existential Therapy helps people talk about life meaning, choices, and feelings of emptiness or aimlessness. It focuses on questions about purpose and personal values rather than only symptom management. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience, offering a respectful, listening environment where the client’s goals shape the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide whether more skills-based work, deeper reflective conversation, or a blend of both is the best fit. This collaborative planning can change as needs evolve over time.
Online sessions make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use writing as a way to process thoughts. These options give flexibility so therapy can continue even when schedules are tight.
