About Tahja

Tahja Green-Carney is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem. Tahja also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care experiences, codependency, and feelings of emptiness.

She uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques and centers discussions on what is happening now and what led to it. Sessions break down difficult feelings into manageable parts. Conversations cover identity, spirituality, communication patterns, and the experiences that shaped a person's sense of self.

Tahja pays attention to cultural background and personal values while helping people name and understand painful emotions like shame or guilt. She encourages practical steps people can try between sessions and discusses how patterns play out in relationships. Work may include looking at boundaries, clarifying needs, and building small coping strategies for overwhelming moments.

People come to Tahja when they are facing a hard season or when old hurts keep resurfacing. She aims for honest discussions without judgement and supports people as they sort through confusing or painful feelings. Her style is direct and respectful, focused on clear goals and steady progress.

To begin, she asks people to describe what matters most to them and what they hope to change. That initial work guides treatment priorities and the techniques used in later sessions.

Therapeutic methods and how online sessions work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical change and clearer understanding. One common approach is cognitive-based work that looks at thoughts and beliefs that fuel anxiety, shame, or guilt. This helps people notice unhelpful thinking and test more balanced ways of seeing situations.

Another approach involves trauma-informed strategies that help identify how past hurt affects present behavior and relationships. These methods often break big, painful memories into smaller pieces so emotions feel more manageable and patterns can be changed.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will ask about your goals, what has worked or not worked before, and your preferences. Together you decide which techniques to try and adjust them as needed based on progress and feedback.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose whether to use video or a different format depending on comfort and bandwidth. Ask about available options when you schedule to match sessions to your life.
