About SanTanna
SanTanna frames therapy as a tailored, collaborative process. She listens to each person's story and adapts conversation and goals to fit their needs. Sessions emphasize practical tools people can use between meetings, not just talking about problems.
Her work often centers on coping strategies for strong emotions and impulsive behaviors. She supports people who want clearer thinking under stress, better control over reactions, and healthier daily routines. That can include short skills practice and problem-solving for immediate issues.
SanTanna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and actions. She breaks down patterns into concrete steps so people can try new responses and notice change. She also helps people strengthen self-compassion and address mood concerns in everyday life.
Her approach is direct but warm. She encourages small, realistic changes and celebrates progress along the way. To begin, she asks people to describe what they hope to change so sessions match their goals and pace.

How CBT and practical work translate to online sessions
SanTanna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT breaks problems into small steps and gives clear exercises to practice between meetings, which can be especially useful for managing anger, anxiety, and mood swings.She focuses on teaching coping techniques for strong emotions and on reducing impulsive reactions. That often means trying quick grounding or thought-challenging exercises, tracking moods, and developing short action plans to change patterns over time.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will work with each person to choose strategies that fit their goals and day-to-day life, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together which methods feel most helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and let people follow through on short homework between meetings. Therapists often tailor session length and focus to match what someone needs that week, which helps keep progress practical and manageable.
