About Tahaji
Tahaji Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and career issues. She also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment problems, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication difficulties.
Before becoming a social worker Tahaji spent many years in public service, including work as a 911 call taker and dispatcher. That background shaped her approach to crisis, burnout, and high-stress situations. Her practice centers on clear, practical conversations rather than medical language or long theory talks.
Tahaji draws from several evidence-informed approaches in sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy. She uses these methods to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and accept difficult feelings while focusing on values and choices.
In sessions she works collaboratively to set goals and identify small steps clients can try between meetings. Expect straightforward feedback, focused skill practice, and attention to how stress and work life affect mood and relationships. She also offers support for people experiencing compassion fatigue and those navigating addiction or recovery.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow a structure that balances talking, practical exercises, and goal review. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment.
BHow sessions work
How her therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It’s useful for anxiety, low motivation, and when life changes leave someone uncertain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is practical for mood, anxiety, and habit change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to a person’s experience without imposing a plan; it supports emotional processing and building self-understanding.Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. Tahaji will discuss goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust it based on what works. The focus is on collaboration - deciding together which methods fit a person’s daily life and concerns.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling around work and family demands and reducing travel time so appointments fit into a busy day. The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people use online sessions to maintain momentum between in-person visits or to access therapy when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and focus to better match a client’s routine and goals.
