Tanya D Mizell, LPC

Tanya D Mizell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 23 years of experience. She brings a background in clinical mental health counseling and a focus on practical, person-centered care. Tanya aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, mood disorders, and relationship and intimacy-related issues.

She uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning to set goals that matter to each person. Sessions emphasize clear steps people can try between meetings, and she adapts pace and focus to each situation. Tanya also draws on approaches that help with trauma, motivation, and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns.

Her earlier work included placements supporting high-risk adolescents who faced trauma, substance use, and abandonment. That experience shaped her ability to work with complex, co-occurring challenges and with people who have neurodevelopmental differences. Tanya has also supported people dealing with caregiving stress, career difficulties, and life transitions.

She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in forensic and career counseling. Tanya is pursuing a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision with a focus on addictions counseling. Her educational path informs an evidence-minded approach while keeping the conversation practical and focused on daily life.

In sessions she listens without judgment, helps identify next steps, and checks progress together. People who want clear, practical strategies for stress, relationship concerns, ADHD, trauma, or mood issues may find her style helpful.

How Tanya’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. It helps people clarify what matters most and set goals that feel realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and supports small, achievable steps toward those goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya will discuss options and tailor methods based on a person’s goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. The plan may shift as progress is made, and clients are encouraged to give feedback about what helps.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, fitting sessions into a busy day. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that fits a schedule, or allow work without needing to be on camera if that is preferred. Ask about formats and timing when you start the matching process so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
