About Iisha
Iisha Toombs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California and New Mexico with 16 years of professional experience. She works with people facing addictions, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Iisha also supports those dealing with abandonment, body image, chronic illness or pain, and struggles with isolation or impulsivity.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She helps clients talk through difficult memories, substance use questions, and problems that make daily life harder. Conversations look at thoughts, behaviors, and simple changes to try between sessions.
Iisha aims to create an environment where people can share honestly without judgment. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps set small, doable goals. Work may include learning new ways to manage strong emotions, building daily routines, or addressing relationship and communication problems that affect wellbeing.
She brings experience from many settings over a 16-year career. That background informs practical strategies for handling depression, trauma responses, and addiction-related challenges. Iisha explains options clearly and helps people pick approaches that match their needs and pace.
Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the directions to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Iisha draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and reducing distress. One common approach addresses trauma by helping people process difficult memories and reduce overwhelming reactions through structured, paced conversations and skills to manage intense feelings. Another approach targets addictive behaviors by identifying triggers, building coping strategies, and setting clear, achievable steps for reducing harm and improving daily routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Iisha will work with each person to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The emphasis is on practical steps and regular review so the work fits the person's life and goals.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or between appointments. It also lets people choose conversations that focus on symptom management, behavior change, or communication skills without having to rearrange their day.
