Tanisha Winfrey

Tanisha Winfrey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who uses clear, practical therapy to help people cope with strong emotions and life stress. She focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction concerns, and anger. Sessions are described as nonjudgmental and caring to help people move toward their goals.

Tanisha draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Solution-Focused Therapy helps people set small, realistic goals and track progress toward them.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Louisiana State University and experience working with people facing mood disorders, homelessness, and living with HIV. That work shaped a practical, person-centered style that aims to meet clients where they are. She reports three years of professional experience as an LCSW.

Tanisha says she provides a space where people can share life experiences and feel heard. She offers evening and weekend appointments to fit busy schedules. She is available for phone, chat, and video sessions, and accepts clients internationally who speak English.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

How Tanisha’s Approaches Shape Online Work

Tanisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and anger. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when feelings are intense.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and day-to-day needs. That collaboration helps shape session pacing, homework, and which skills to practice between meetings.

The biography lists phone, chat, and video sessions as available, so confirm current options before booking to be sure they match your preferences. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help them practice skills in real life between meetings while keeping the same therapeutic focus as in-person work.
