About Tanisha

She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or LCSW, practicing in New York and brings steady, practical support to conversations about hard emotions.

Background and approach
Sessions tend to center on what the person wants to change and how to get there in everyday life. Tanisha draws on client-centered work to make space for each person's experience. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.
For trauma, she incorporates approaches designed to process painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life. Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then crafts a plan that fits the individual.
The work can include practical skills, emotional processing, and steps to rebuild relationships or daily routines. With 13 years of experience, Tanisha adapts methods to each person rather than applying one fixed model.

How Tanisha’s Approaches Work Online
Tanisha uses client-centered methods to make sessions about what matters most to the individual. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping a person feel heard before moving toward change. It is useful when someone needs understanding and space to sort feelings.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Together they identify patterns and practice small, specific changes that can reduce anxiety, manage anger, or relieve depressive symptoms. For trauma work she includes techniques designed to process painful memories and reduce their ongoing impact on everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tanisha works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans so the work stays practical and focused on real-life improvements.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video helps recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be quicker when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and other commitments.
