About Tashima
Tashima Kinney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and ADHD. She uses straightforward, practical methods to help clients make small changes that add up. Her approach aims to meet people where they are and move them toward clearer goals.
With 13 years of professional counseling experience, Kinney draws from client-centered, mindfulness, solution-focused, and trauma-focused approaches. She prefers simple, collaborative work in sessions where a person’s priorities guide the conversation.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on immediate coping skills, communication strategies, and steps that can be tried between meetings. Kinney has a background in psychology and a Master of Education. Her work history includes roles with children, families, and adults in different settings.
That range informs how she adapts strategies to a person’s life and routines. She listens for what feels stuck and offers practical ideas to try. For relationship and family concerns she helps people sort patterns, improve communication, and set boundaries.
For addiction, impulsivity, or process-related concerns she focuses on actionable steps and relapse prevention planning. People who choose Kinney often want clear direction and tools they can use right away. She encourages small experiments in daily life to test what works.
The goal is steady progress toward the client’s stated outcomes, using methods that fit their pace and values.
How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify their goals and feel heard before moving to change. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and attention concerns. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and strengths to create quick, measurable progress toward specific goals.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Kinney works together with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning means techniques can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let therapists see nonverbal cues and run full sessions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when video isn’t possible. Live chat or text messaging offer shorter check-ins, quick skill reminders, and flexibility around work or caregiving schedules. These options make it easier to use therapy in the middle of a busy life and to practice skills between meetings.
