Getting to know Tanya Stephanie Lechuga
I’m Stephanie Lechuga, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. I began my work in community and medical-based settings, where I saw firsthand how meaningful support and evidence-based care can truly change the course of someone’s life. Those experiences shaped my commitment to creating a space that feels safe, respectful, and collaborative.
I specialize in trauma-informed therapy and integrate approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and motivational interviewing to help clients better understand patterns, build practical coping skills, and strengthen emotional resilience. My goal is not only to reduce symptoms, but to help clients feel more grounded, confident, and empowered in their daily lives.
I believe therapy works best when it is tailored to the individual and paced thoughtfully. Together, we work toward meaningful change that feels sustainable and aligned with your goals.
What should a new client know about working with you?
New clients can expect a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space when working with me. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to create an environment where you feel heard, respected, and safe to explore what’s been weighing on you.
My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and motivational interviewing. Together, we will work to better understand patterns that may be contributing to distress, build practical coping tools, and strengthen emotional resilience. I believe therapy works best when it is tailored to the individual, so our sessions will be paced thoughtfully and aligned with your goals.
I value open communication and transparency. We will regularly check in about what feels helpful, what may need adjustment, and how you are experiencing the process. Therapy with me is not about judgment or quick fixes it is about steady, meaningful progress that supports long-term well-being.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or a significant life transition, my hope is that you leave sessions feeling more grounded, empowered, and equipped to move forward with clarity and confidence.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My typical process begins with an initial session focused on understanding your concerns, history, and goals for therapy. We’ll explore what has been bringing you distress, what you’ve already tried, and what you hope will feel different. Together, we’ll identify meaningful goals and create a plan that feels realistic and supportive.
Ongoing sessions are collaborative and focused. We may explore patterns in thoughts and behaviors, process past experiences when appropriate, and develop practical coping tools you can use between sessions. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and motivational interviewing, tailoring our work to your needs and pace.
Throughout the process, we’ll check in regularly about your progress and adjust as needed. My goal is for therapy to feel purposeful, steady, and aligned with what matters most to you.
