About Tanisha
Tanisha Crawford brings twenty years of social work experience to her practice in New York. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), she focuses on helping people face stress, anxiety, depression, and difficult life transitions. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing distress. Sessions often include work on coping skills, communication, and problem solving.
Background and approach
She helps people sort through relationship and parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, and trauma-related worries. Tanisha values a collaborative process. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and partners with them to set clear, achievable goals.
Progress is built one step at a time, with tools people can use between sessions. Her background includes extensive experience with family and attachment issues, adoption and foster care questions, autism and Asperger syndrome concerns, and caregiver stress. She also gives attention to intimacy-related problems, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to match strategies to a person’s needs. Work may include identifying unhelpful thoughts, boosting motivation for change, and creating simple action plans. The emphasis is on clear steps clients can try and adjust as they go.

Online support
How her methods translate to online care
Tanisha often uses Client-Centered Therapy to help people feel heard and understood. This approach prioritizes the client’s perspective and helps shape goals from their own priorities. It is useful for people who want support making sense of emotions and building confidence to change.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and managing stress with clear exercises and homework.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new concerns arise.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video works well for deeper conversational work and exercises that need visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging offer more frequent, brief contact and can help maintain momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
