Hello,
My name is Tanyaka B. Cline, and I am a licensed independent social worker in the state of Alabama. I invite you to review my profile to learn more about my professional background and therapeutic approach. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. While online counseling may be a new experience for some, I have found it to be an effective and convenient way to address a wide range of concerns, including the ones you shared in your message.
My counseling style is collaborative, supportive, and client-centered. I strive to create a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable expressing your thoughts, emotions, and needs openly. My focus is on helping you identify your strengths and using them as tools for growth, healing, and positive change.
I’m sorry to hear that you’re facing a difficult time, but I commend you for taking the important first step of seeking support. I’d like to help you explore the challenges you're currently experiencing and work with you to find meaningful solutions. It sounds like you may be navigating several important decisions, which could be contributing to your current stress or emotional discomfort. When you're ready, I’d appreciate hearing more about the decisions you’re facing and how they may be affecting you.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you already possess the strength and resilience to face life’s challenges. Starting therapy is a brave step, and I'm proud of you for doing it.
Once I receive your response, I will send you additional information about how the online counseling process works and how we can move forward from there.
Please keep in mind that this platform does not provide emergency services. If you are in crisis or feel you need immediate assistance, please contact 911 or call the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255), available 24 hours a day.
You are not alone. Support is available, and together, we can work toward greater clarity and emotional well-being. I look forward to working with you.
Warm regards,
Tanyaka B. Cline, LICSW
