Background and approach
Over 17 years of clinical work inform her approach. Talisha blends tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills and reduce distress. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at family and relationship patterns, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when couples need help reconnecting.
Sessions tend to focus on practical steps, communication practice, and small changes that add up over time. Talisha’s practice covers common parenting and family concerns like blended family issues, communication problems, and divorce or separation. She also addresses a wide range of personal challenges including grief, addiction, body image, and ADHD.
The goal is helping families and individuals move from feeling stuck to feeling more capable. She is licensed in South Carolina - SC LPC 7370 - and Florida - FL LMHC MH21573. Work happens in straightforward language and with a focus on what matters most to each household.
Talisha aims to meet people where they are and to build steps that fit real life. Parents and caregivers often seek her when they need support with behavior concerns, emotional regulation, or stress from caregiving. She offers guidance that respects daily realities and helps families try new ways of relating and solving problems.
Online approaches that support families and parents
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take steps toward what matters. ACT can be useful for parents dealing with stress, worry, or big life transitions because it emphasizes values and small actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior by practicing new responses and building problem-solving skills, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and behavior concerns in children and teens. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how family and relationship patterns form and offers ways to change interaction habits so relationships feel safer and more connected.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and try methods that fit the family’s needs and preferences. Together they make a plan and adjust it based on what helps most in everyday life.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy families. Video calls let parents meet from home and still use visual cues during conversations. Phone sessions are an option when screens aren’t convenient, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins and skill reminders between appointments. These formats add flexibility so therapy can fit into school schedules, workdays, and caregiving responsibilities while keeping the focus on usable strategies and gradual change.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
