Tanya Dunlap, LCSW

LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) based in Illinois with eight years of clinical experience, Tanya Dunlap focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, and depression. She helps people who are struggling with difficult emotional responses and the effects of past hurt. Sessions center on recognizing feelings and learning ways to respond to them. Tanya speaks English and works with adults in Illinois.

Tanya approaches trauma and grief as experiences that shape behavior and relationships. She concentrates on the emotional impact of abuse, shame, guilt, and isolation. In sessions she talks through painful memories and current feelings, and helps clients name how those experiences affect daily life.

Forgiveness and self-acceptance are consistent themes in her work. She guides people toward clearer self-understanding and toward practices that reduce self-blame. The aim is improving self-regard and lowering the intensity of reactive emotions like anger and shame.

Tanya makes the therapy process straightforward. She listens for patterns, suggests practical coping strategies, and checks in about what helps between sessions. Progress is discussed in simple terms, with attention to small, workable steps.

Her background as an LCSW informs a focus on emotional healing and real-life change. People who seek help for post-traumatic stress, chronic anxiety, or prolonged grief will find an approach oriented to practical coping and restoring a steadier sense of self.
