She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. Many people appreciate her later evening and weekend hours for flexibility.

Tanisha has experience with diverse backgrounds and with supporting caregivers of people who have intellectual or developmental disabilities.
Solution-Focused Care and Remote Options
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying what is already working and building on those small wins. Sessions focus on clear, short-term goals and experimenting with straightforward changes between meetings. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, relationship problems, and moment-to-moment life adjustments.Tanisha pairs solution-focused work with a person-centered outlook that emphasizes listening and collaboration. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try, adjust plans when needed, and track progress. Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens gradually through discussion and real-life practice.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is helpful when visual cues matter, phone calls can fit a short break or lower bandwidth situations, live chat offers a brief check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical changes and goals.
