About Tasheena
Tasheena Carlson is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington who focuses on family and parenting related concerns alongside a broad range of life challenges. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting concerns.
Tasheena aims to create a calm, respectful space where people feel safe to talk about what matters to them. She believes growth begins when someone feels seen and supported, and she helps clients notice and build on their existing strengths.
Background and approach
Her sessions emphasize a person-centered, strength-based way of working. Tasheena listens to what each person brings and helps them identify small, practical steps they can try between meetings. She focuses on developing tools for coping with life changes, mood struggles, and questions around identity and relationships.
Practical skill building is paired with attention to feelings and values. With seven years of clinical experience and a Washington LMHC license, she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. The emphasis is on collaboration: the person in therapy is treated as the expert on their life while Tasheena offers structure and ideas.
Over time she supports clients in making choices that align with their goals and values. Outside of work she enjoys hiking, spending time in nature, painting, and singing in her car. These activities inform a grounded, human approach to counseling that aims to be both compassionate and action oriented.
Evidence-based approaches and online access
Many of Tasheena's methods draw on well-researched therapy techniques that help people name feelings and build new coping skills. One common approach she uses is person-centered work, which focuses on listening closely, reflecting what the client says, and supporting self-directed change. This helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic place to make sense of difficult emotions or life shifts. Another key method is strength-based work, which helps clients identify what already works in their lives and expand on those strengths to solve current problems. This approach is useful for boosting confidence and finding practical next steps.Finding the right type of therapy is part of the process. Tasheena collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats the client as the expert on their life and offers tools and structure to test what feels most helpful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and to meet from different locations. The variety of options supports flexibility in how people connect and how often they check in, while still allowing consistent therapeutic work over time.
