Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online



Tanisha frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and mood symptoms. CBT focuses on changing thinking and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies when emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and coping with intense feelings are primary concerns. DBT teaches concrete skills for tolerating distress and improving relationships while balancing acceptance and change.

Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool in her practice, emphasizing immediate, goal-oriented steps and building on a person’s strengths to create measurable progress in areas like career transitions, relationships, and parenting challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; Tanisha works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailors methods accordingly. She views therapy as a partnership in which techniques are adjusted over time to fit what is most helpful.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who live outside her area. These options make it easier to access consistent support, practice skills between sessions, and fit care into work, family, or travel routines while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
