Background and approach
Her background gives her experience with a wide range of concerns including addiction, grief, relationship struggles, and attention differences. In sessions she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with motivational methods and solution-focused work. That mix lets her help clients change unhelpful thoughts, build emotion regulation skills, and set small, achievable goals.
The work is collaborative and action-oriented, with concrete tools to use between meetings. She offers several formats for meeting - video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging - to fit different schedules and needs. Tanisha is available evenings and weekends to accommodate busy routines.
She also accepts international clients who prefer to work in English. Practical matters use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies by location and availability. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Tanisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and worrying cycles. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for intense emotions and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is seen. Work is collaborative and focused on small, practical steps that can be practiced between sessions.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can fit quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, weekday evenings, or weekends while keeping the work focused and goal oriented.
