About Tanisha
Tanisha Winfrey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with three years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain, and life transitions. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, aimed at helping people manage strong emotions and everyday challenges.
Tanisha uses straightforward talk and practical strategies in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns, develop coping skills, and build small changes that add up. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people are weighing change or making difficult decisions.
She has experience working with mood disorders and people facing unstable housing and health-related stress. That background informs a pragmatic style - short-term tools and step-by-step plans that can be used between sessions. Evening and weekend times are mentioned in her original biography to help fit therapy into busy schedules.
The first meeting typically looks like a plain conversation about current struggles and goals. From there she and the client pick practical steps to try and track what helps. Tanisha offers phone, chat, and video sessions according to her biography; please confirm current session options when booking.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted, per the source material. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Tanisha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and short homework tasks to try between meetings.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal techniques. DBT-style work focuses on simple, repeatable skills that reduce reactivity and support clearer decision making.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. In early sessions she and the client review goals and try methods that match those goals. Adjustments are made together based on what is useful and doable for the person’s life and schedule.
The original biography lists phone, chat, and video sessions, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, avoid travel time, or keep check-ins brief when that suits the client. A short matching questionnaire is used to begin the process and schedule a first session.
