Tanisha Peterson, LCSW

Tanisha Peterson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana who focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, depression, and life transitions. She brings a decade of experience working with people from diverse backgrounds, including older adults facing significant life changes and individuals with intellectual, developmental, or physical disabilities. She also supports family members and caregivers who are adapting to a relative's diagnosis or changing needs.

Peterson holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Louisiana State University and A&M College and a Master of Social Work from Southern University of New Orleans. Her clinical work emphasizes person-centered thinking and solution-focused strategies to reduce symptoms and build practical skills for everyday life. She helps clients set achievable goals, address communication and intimacy issues, manage grief and loss, and cope with trauma and abuse when it arises.

Accessible and goal-oriented, Peterson offers therapy through messaging, live chat, phone sessions, and video calls. She maintains nontraditional hours with late evening and Saturday daytime availability, noting that weekday daytime sessions are not offered. Prospective clients looking for a collaborative, strengths-based approach may find her practice a good fit.

Solution-Focused Care and Online Support

Tanisha Peterson uses solution-focused therapy to help clients identify practical steps that lead to measurable progress. This approach concentrates on building solutions rather than dwelling on problems and can be especially helpful for addressing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and goal-directed changes.

She also draws on person-centered thinking, which prioritizes the client’s own values and experiences. This method supports clients in exploring their strengths, clarifying priorities, and making changes at a comfortable pace, often benefiting those coping with life transitions, caregiver stress, or shifts in identity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Peterson works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Peterson is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to access consistent support, accommodate nontraditional hours, and maintain momentum between sessions while working toward personal and relational goals.
