    About Tanisha

    Tanisha Winfrey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who uses clear, goal-focused methods to help people move forward. She blends practical tools with a warm, non-judgmental approach so clients can talk through what matters most and set realistic steps for change.

    She works with stress, anxiety, self-esteem issues, depression, and addiction concerns. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting stress, career transitions, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and other life changes. Her practice is attentive to LGBT needs as listed in her specialties.

    Tanisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor care. Sessions tend to focus on identifying practical patterns, building coping skills, and setting short-term goals clients can try between appointments.

    She earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology and a Master of Social Work from Louisiana State University. The profile lists five years of experience in clinical work, including supporting people with mood disorders and housing instability.

    Evening and weekend times are offered to fit busy schedules. Phone, chat, and video sessions are noted as formats she provides. People who are outside the U.S. may also work with her according to the profile. To begin, prospective clients follow the platform’s Start Therapy steps to match and schedule.

  2. How her approaches fit into online therapy

    Tanisha uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their goals and build internal motivation for change. That approach focuses on conversation that uncovers what matters to the person and supports gradual steps toward those goals.

    She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills when those areas are a focus.

    Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tanisha works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's situation, goals, and preferences. She will adjust techniques over time based on what is helpful in sessions and between appointments.

    The profile indicates she offers phone, chat, and video sessions, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Online meetings can allow shorter check-ins, evening or weekend appointments, and options for people who travel or live far from office-based care. If you want to know exactly which formats are available for you, confirm current session options before booking.
