Tasheena combines practical strategies with a client-centered way of working. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior, Motivational Interviewing to clarify motivation for change, and Solution-Focused methods to build on strengths and quick wins.
Her background includes a BA in Psychology from the University of Charleston and an MS in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. She has provided individual and group therapy in court and corrections settings, working with at-risk people around substance use, emotion regulation, and behavior concerns.
In practice she emphasizes rapport and straightforward communication. Conversations often include skill-building for anxiety management, setting boundaries, and improving communication. When relevant, sessions address substance use and process addictions with a focus on practical next steps.
People meet with her to sort through common young adult issues like leaving home, first jobs, relationship changes, and feeling stuck after school. She accepts clients internationally and conducts work in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Tasheena’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It aims to build trust and let the client direct the pace and topics of sessions, which helps with relationship and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-based approach that looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It offers exercises and practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and can be useful for addictions and commitment issues.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans based on what works. Clients can expect to set clear goals and try small, measurable steps between sessions.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow more consistent check-ins. Some approaches lend themselves to short skills practice, written exercises, or talk-based sessions, which can be adapted to whatever session option is agreed on.
