About Tanika
Tanika Black is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She brings 14 years of counseling experience to sessions and focuses on practical support for common life struggles. Her approach aims to help people manage mood, behavior, and relationships so they can move forward with clearer goals.
Clients often come for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and coping with major life changes. She also addresses anger, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
Tanika works with issues connected to parenting, career stress, and self-esteem. Tanika creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through their thoughts and feelings. She listens for patterns that get in the way and helps clients try new ways to respond.
Sessions focus on small, achievable steps that build confidence over time. Her background includes work across diverse settings and with people from varied backgrounds and identities. That experience informs a practical style that adapts to each person’s needs.
She encourages honest conversation about goals and barriers so progress feels realistic. Treatment plans are shaped around what matters most to the client, whether that is managing panic attacks, addressing impulsivity, or improving sleep and daily routines. Tanika supports parents dealing with caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and postpartum depression.
She also helps people cope with discrimination, isolation, and compassion fatigue.
Online approaches that suit busy lives
Tanika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior, then practice new responses to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Another approach emphasizes building routines and skills for daily living to manage ADHD, sleep problems, impulsivity, and stress.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges, then try approaches that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when internet bandwidth is limited, chat can be a shorter check-in during a busy day, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options help people fit counseling into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping continuity of care.
