Tanisha Richardson

Tanisha Richardson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. She works with individuals who are worn down by grief, relationship strain, parenting pressure, or career stress. Her tone is practical and compassionate, focused on getting through what feels overwhelming today.

She believes healing is a process that asks people to move through hard feelings rather than push them aside. Sessions focus on clear goals and realistic steps. Tanisha uses conversation and guided exercises to help people recognize patterns, name emotions, and try different ways of responding.

Her approach pulls from several methods, including client-centered work that follows the person's needs, cognitive behavioral ideas that look at thinking and behavior, and trauma-focused tools for processing difficult memories. She also draws on emotionally-focused practices to improve connection and self-understanding.

Tanisha has 13 years of clinical experience in New York and brings a calm, steady presence to appointments. She aims to tailor each plan to a persons circumstances, whether the issue is addiction, parenting strain, family of origin concerns, or self-esteem struggles.

People who come to her can expect straightforward talk, a few practical strategies to try between sessions, and support as they test new ways of coping. She helps people move toward clearer choices and more manageable days.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, asks about priorities, and shapes sessions around what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and offers straightforward skills to try between sessions for issues like anxiety, anger, or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps people process distressing memories through a structured procedure that can reduce the intensity of traumatic recollections.

Finding the right approach is usually a team decision. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, past experiences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to lean on CBT skills, emotionally focused work, EMDR, or a mix depending on needs and comfort.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can guide practical exercises, offer tools to practice between meetings, and help clients apply new skills in everyday life.
