Her experience includes work with people affected by homelessness and those living with HIV.
Sessions aim to identify concrete steps and small changes that fit daily life. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thought patterns, emotional regulation, and coping skills. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term goals and track progress.

The first meetings focus on what matters most to the client and on setting realistic, measurable goals. People who want to try working through parenting strain, grief, relationship tension, or life transitions will find a straightforward, nonjudgmental approach and a focus on usable techniques.
Approaches in online sessions and how they help
Tanisha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving how people respond to stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try different tools to see what fits. Goals are reviewed regularly so the plan can shift if something is not working.
Tanisha offers remote appointments through phone, chat, and video according to her profile, which can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. Remote sessions can shorten travel time, allow for evening or weekend check-ins, and let people use tools between sessions. Confirm the current session options and scheduling details before booking so you can pick the arrangement that best fits your routine.
