About Tarisha

Tarisha McCullen is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people regain balance in their daily lives. She brings eight years of psychotherapy experience and approaches each person with compassion and a nonjudgmental attitude. Tarisha aims to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and parenting concerns so they can feel more able to live and love their lives.

She works from North Carolina and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.

Background and approach

Tarisha emphasizes practical, real-world support rather than abstract labels. She listens first, then tailors the plan to fit each person's needs. Many clients seek her help for relationship and family problems, communication struggles, anger, and coping with life changes.

She also supports people dealing with postpartum depression, trauma symptoms, and mood disorders. Her work includes attention to attention-related concerns such as ADHD and to behaviors like trichotillomania. Tarisha has experience with disruptive mood dysregulation concerns and with issues that affect young adults and women.

She also notes experience related to veteran and armed forces issues and adoption and foster care matters. Tarisha blends respect with practical steps that can be used between sessions. She tailors interventions to the situation and encourages gradual progress.

Her practice emphasizes clear communication and helping people build skills to manage emotions and improve relationships. For families and parenting-focused concerns, Tarisha offers straightforward guidance that addresses interaction patterns and problem solving. She aims to meet people where they are and create a plan that fits their life and goals.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting support

Tarisha uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear steps people can use between sessions. One common approach emphasizes skill building for emotion regulation and coping - teaching practical tools to manage anxiety, anger, and mood swings so daily life feels more manageable. Another approach focuses on improving communication and problem solving within relationships and families by teaching ways to talk about needs, set limits, and resolve conflicts more calmly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tarisha will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and schedule. She starts by listening, then adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options let people fit therapy around work, school, and parenting responsibilities and return to tools between sessions. The varied formats support ongoing contact in ways that match personal preference and practical needs.
