About Tarsha Washington
Tarsha Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has been actively providing therapy services since 2015 and brings collaborative experience spanning more than 18 years in a variety of social services roles with adults, families, and children. She approaches counseling with the intention of supporting and empowering individuals to reach their goals, creating a person-centered atmosphere where self-determination is encouraged and acknowledged. Her interactions are guided by warmth, respect, and positive regard, and she emphasizes helping people identify practical steps to overcome challenges that affect daily life.
Tarsha earned her undergraduate degree in Social Work from Herbert Lehman College in the Bronx, New York, where she was introduced to the Social Work Relationship Principles of Felix Biestek. Those principles inform her practice and include attention to individual differences, allowing purposeful expression of feelings, maintaining appropriate emotional involvement, offering acceptance of strengths and limitations, holding a nonjudgmental stance, promoting self-determination, and recognizing a person’s right to personal nature of sessions. These ideas shape how she listens, reflects, and collaborates with clients.
In sessions she works to uncover barriers that disrupt functioning at home, school, work, or in the community, and she tailors her support to address issues such as family dynamics, trauma, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Her style centers on partnering with clients to build coping skills, strengthen communication, and pursue meaningful change in ways that align with each person’s values and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Tarsha Washington
Tarsha integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy into her online practice to address a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work and people are supported in making their own choices - this approach is well suited to building self-esteem and strengthening decision making. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress and then develops practical skills to change those patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tarsha collaborates with each person to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time and encourages client input to shape the plan.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to engage in therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it possible to connect from different locations and schedules, helping clients access consistent support while fitting therapy into their everyday lives with greater convenience and continuity.
