About Tanisha

Tanisha Winfrey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who focuses on practical, solution-focused support. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other life challenges. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at real-world changes.

Tanisha uses short-term, skills-based approaches so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - which looks at thoughts and actions - with Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help clients set clear goals and stay motivated. Her practice emphasizes a kind, nonjudgmental tone. Conversations tend to be direct and collaborative, so people leave sessions with specific steps to try.

She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, substance use, eating issues, bipolar symptoms, and career or parenting stress. Tanisha has three years of clinical experience as an LCSW and earned her social work degrees in Louisiana. She has worked with people facing mood disorders, homelessness, and those living with HIV, bringing practical tools for everyday life.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different routines. International clients may be supported in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the platform process.

How skills-based therapy works online

Tanisha often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in online work. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to feel better. DBT provides concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for managing intense feelings and reducing impulsive reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try a method, and adjust plans together over time. That collaboration helps match techniques to what actually helps a person in daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care fit busy schedules. Video sessions are good for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t convenient. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or shorter coaching-style exchanges between longer sessions.
