Background and approach

She brings about 10 years of experience supporting people from different backgrounds. That experience includes work with individuals facing life transitions and those managing intellectual or physical disabilities. In sessions she uses person-centered ideas and Solution-Focused Therapy to build clear goals and small, practical steps.

She often helps people reduce negative self-talk, manage anxiety, and improve communication within families. She also supports people coping with grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, aging issues, and intimacy or commitment concerns. Tanisha offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

She typically keeps nontraditional hours with late evenings and Saturday daytime times available. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Her approach centers on collaboration.

She works with each person to set realistic goals and track progress with simple, achievable actions.

Solution-Focused Work and Online Access

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on what clients want to achieve rather than on long histories. The therapist helps identify small, practical changes that move a person toward clear goals. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, coping with life changes, and relationship or communication problems.

She also uses person-centered ideas that keep the person’s priorities central. That means the client’s goals and preferences guide each session, and the therapist adapts techniques to what feels most helpful. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process tailored to each person’s needs and pace.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier for people with busy lives or caregiving responsibilities. The variety of formats also allows for brief check-ins, longer conversations, or ongoing written support depending on what fits best.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
