About Tanisha
Tanisha Winfrey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses practical, skills-based approaches to help people navigate stress and change. She brings three years of clinical experience and focuses on straightforward strategies you can use between sessions. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at making it easier to talk about hard things and take small steps forward.
Tanisha draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Background and approach
In sessions she helps clients break problems into manageable parts, build coping skills, and set realistic goals. The work often includes learning new ways to respond to anxiety, manage strong emotions, and change unhelpful patterns. She has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction concerns, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting stress.
She also lists experience with ADHD, bipolar concerns, career questions, eating issues, and LGBT-related matters. Tanisha practices in Louisiana and offers services in English. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Cost varies based on location and therapist availability, and therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients select Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability. Tanisha aims to make therapy accessible and down-to-earth.
She focuses on clear goals, practical tools, and steady progress so clients can feel more capable handling life's demands.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Tanisha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression by teaching concrete skills to cope with symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people manage strong feelings and improve relationships.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and the challenges you bring, then recommend which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan as you learn what helps most, combining skill-building with short-term goal work when appropriate.
Online therapy here offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, follow up between sessions, and access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these options to teach skills, coach through practice, and keep progress moving even when schedules are tight.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
