About Tahseen
Tahseen Shaista is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois with 13 years of experience. She focuses on anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, addictions, and attention and focus concerns including ADHD. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at helping people make manageable changes in daily life.
Tahseen listens for what matters most to each person and helps set simple, realistic goals. Sessions center on identifying strengths, building routines, and improving communication.
Background and approach
She emphasizes skills that reduce overwhelm, improve focus, and lessen impulsive reactions. Her background includes long-term work with people facing grief, relationship strain, mood problems, and substance use. That experience informs short-term coping strategies and longer-term planning.
She also addresses issues like guilt, shame, codependency, and problems with obsessive thinking. Tahseen believes therapy is a collaborative process. She invites clients to test techniques, give feedback, and adjust the plan as they go.
The pace and tools are tuned to each person’s life and goals. Sessions may include learning practical ways to manage panic or intrusive thoughts, building better daily habits for attention, or practicing clearer ways to ask for support. Her aim is steady, workable progress rather than quick fixes.
She welcomes people who want focused, skills-based help and clear steps forward.
Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Many clients benefit from straightforward, evidence-based techniques that focus on managing symptoms and building daily routines. Cognitive approaches help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach skills to respond differently to anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and panic. Behavioral strategies focus on changing routines, breaking down tasks, and creating habits that support better attention and reduced impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and lifestyle. That might mean starting with short-term skills for crisis moments, then layering in habit-building and communication practice over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching practical exercises. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, frequent touchpoints. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
