About Tanika
Tanika Black is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 14 years of experience. She helps people deal with anger, anxiety, mood disorders, depression, sexual identity concerns, and the stresses that come with major life changes. Tanika works with adults navigating the transition points common in early adulthood, such as relationship shifts, career moves, and questions about identity.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations tend to cover specific feelings, recent events, and practical steps you can try between meetings. Tanika listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and offers ways to break those cycles. She also addresses related issues like sleep, eating, and substance use when those affect daily life.
Tanika’s background includes work across diverse communities, supporting people of different races, sexual orientations, and life experiences. That history shapes how she responds to issues like prejudice, caregiver stress, and the particular pressures that come with adoption or foster care histories. She is licensed in both Louisiana and Texas and draws on 14 years of clinical work to guide sessions.
In practice she focuses on real-world coping skills alongside exploration of underlying feelings. Common topics include impulsivity, panic attacks, grief, and intimacy-related problems. She also helps people who struggle with parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Tanika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and skills. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, impulsivity, and mood swings; this helps with panic attacks, ADHD-related struggles, and everyday stress. Another is trauma-informed methods that look at how past events affect current behavior and relationships; this is useful for people dealing with post-traumatic stress, grief, or domestic violence aftereffects.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your goals, personal history, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you decide which techniques to prioritize and adjust them as needed so sessions feel relevant and doable.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break or longer sessions when more processing is needed. It also lets you continue care if you move within the same state or need to balance work and study commitments.
