She holds the credentials MD, LCSW-C, and LCSW, and earned a Master of Social Work from the University at Albany, SUNY. Her background includes advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical, skills-based method - and earlier work as a rape crisis counselor, which informs her trauma-focused approach.

She concentrates on trauma, anxiety, and depression while also supporting clients with family and parenting concerns, relationship issues, grief, anger, and life transitions. Her practice emphasizes strength-based and person-centered work alongside CBT, helping clients identify and build on existing resources while addressing unhelpful thinking patterns and coping strategies. Tai-Anne works with diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ clients and African-American women, and brings a collaborative, respectful style to each therapeutic relationship.

Psychoeducation is woven throughout her work so clients gain practical tools and a personalized toolkit to manage stressors now and in the future. She encourages self-care and activities that restore balance, such as travel and joyful pursuits, and supports clients in creating realistic action plans to foster growth during periods of change.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical coping skills - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Person-centered therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and strengths, creating a supportive space for exploration and self-directed growth. A strength-based approach builds on existing resources and resilience, helping clients mobilize what is already working in their lives to address challenges and transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tai-Anne partners with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so treatment stays relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy with Tai-Anne offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. Licensed professionals can deliver meaningful therapeutic work through these formats, helping clients access consistent support and practical tools without added logistical barriers.
