Approaches and Online Support for Relationship and Life Challenges

Tanisha draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients uncover their own insights and strengths to guide change. This approach is useful for building self-esteem and navigating personal decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions. Motivational Interviewing complements these methods by exploring a client’s readiness for change and supporting motivation for steps like improving relationships or addressing difficult circumstances.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tanisha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the pace and focus to what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy with Tanisha offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy schedules, manage childcare or mobility constraints, and maintain continuity of care during life changes.
