About Tanisha
Tanisha Winfrey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with three years of clinical experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, grief, parenting pressures, ADHD, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Tanisha works with concerns across mood, coping, and behavior.
She explains things plainly and uses practical strategies clients can try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy methods help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance, and Solution-Focused techniques steer conversations toward small, achievable goals.
Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a Master’s in Social Work from Louisiana State University. Those studies are combined with recent clinical work supporting people facing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, homelessness, and living with HIV. This mix shapes a problem-solving approach that focuses on everyday needs like work, family, and stress management.
Many clients come with limited time, so she arranges practical appointment times and sessions that fit into busy schedules. She uses phone, chat, and video session options; confirm current session formats before booking. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session. That first meeting is used to clarify goals and pick approaches that match the person’s situation.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Tanisha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. CBT sessions often include homework tasks and short exercises to practice between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills such as grounding and breathing techniques that can be practiced during or after sessions. Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they pick one or two methods to try and check in regularly to adjust the plan based on progress and preferences. Her biography indicates phone, chat, and video sessions are used, but confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a lunch break, a quiet evening, or a short window between obligations. Phone sessions can be useful when video is not convenient, chat sessions can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing, and video sessions support face-to-face conversation when needed. These formats allow practical skill-building and regular check-ins without requiring a long trip to an office.CAreas of focus
