Tarsha Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and relationship concerns. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier for parents and individuals facing mood or behavior challenges.

Background and approach
She uses a person-centered approach that encourages self-determination and respects each person’s strengths and limits. Sessions emphasize clear goals, active listening, and collaborative problem solving. Tarsha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and coping when feelings run high. Motivational Interviewing helps clients find their own reasons for change and build momentum toward goals. Her background includes an undergraduate degree in social work, where she learned principles that shape how she interacts with people: acceptance, individual focus, and nonjudgmental support.
Those principles guide how she talks through parenting stress, communication problems, impulsivity, and control issues. In sessions she offers practical strategies such as step-by-step coping plans, communication tools, and ways to manage anger or impulsivity. She helps people work through life transitions, career stress, and questions of purpose with straightforward, usable techniques.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals first and emphasizes acceptance and respect. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you decide next steps that feel right for your life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches simple skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. In remote sessions this can mean setting homework, using short tools during video calls, and practicing new ways of thinking between meetings.
DBT skills help with strong emotions and impulsive reactions by teaching concrete techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those skills can be practiced in live calls or reinforced with brief messages between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adapt over time based on what works. Clients are invited to give feedback so treatment stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls let you use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or you prefer no video. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or notes between sessions to keep progress moving.
