About Tanisha
Tanisha Peterson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD concerns. She focuses on practical steps clients can take now. Her tone is direct and supportive, and she aims to make the first contact simple and low pressure.
She spent about a decade working with people from diverse backgrounds. That experience includes supporting those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, and older adults facing life transitions.
Background and approach
She also assists people coping with grief, trauma, family problems, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Tanisha uses a person-centered approach and leans on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions often focus on small changes, skills that can be practiced between meetings, and strategies to reduce overwhelming thoughts and behaviors.
She emphasizes what works right now rather than long lists of theory. Her schedule includes later evening hours and Saturday daytime slots for clients who need options outside the typical 9-to-5. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.
Tanisha received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Louisiana State University and A&M College and a Master of Social Work from Southern University of New Orleans. She brings practical experience with caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, aging and geriatric concerns, and a wide range of relationship and life-change issues.
People who choose her can expect straightforward, goal-oriented sessions that focus on usable tools and steady progress. She encourages anyone thinking about therapy to take the small step of reaching out and learning what a few focused sessions might accomplish.
Practical approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable steps and clear goals. Sessions focus on what you want to change and build simple strategies you can try between meetings. This approach is often helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and ADHD-related challenges where concrete tactics and quick wins matter.Tanisha combines person-centered listening with goal-focused techniques so clients feel heard while working toward real changes. She collaborates with each person to pick approaches that match their needs and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made. Finding the right fit is part of the work and happens together at a pace that feels manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you read facial cues and body language when that feels useful. Phone sessions can require less bandwidth and work well for a check-in or a longer conversation. Live chat and text are convenient for short check-ins, exercises, and flexible communication during busy weeks. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings or Saturday daytime slots without changing other commitments.
