About Tanisha
Tanisha Peterson helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She also works with people navigating intimacy issues, anger, career concerns, ADHD, and family caregiving stress.
Tanisha is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or LCSW, with ten years of experience in Louisiana. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be direct and goal-oriented, with clear ideas for what to try between meetings. She has worked with adults across a range of needs, including aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic medical conditions, and intellectual or developmental disabilities. She also supports those dealing with cancer, hospice and end-of-life issues, and caregiver strain.
Tanisha uses Solution-Focused Therapy alongside person-centered thinking. That means sessions often focus on small, achievable changes and building on what already works. She helps people set concrete goals and track progress one step at a time.
Her availability includes evenings and Saturday daytime hours for people who need nontraditional scheduling. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support
How solution-focused work fits online
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical steps you can try between sessions and on what already works in your life. The focus is on setting clear goals, identifying exceptions to problems, and scaling progress so you see concrete change over time. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship concerns, goal-setting, and coping with life transitions.Person-centered thinking emphasizes listening and working at the pace you prefer. The therapist focuses on your goals and preferences and helps you shape a plan that feels right. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist will talk with you about options and tailor methods to your needs and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to use video. Live chat and messaging provide quick check-ins, brief coaching, and support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings, weekends, or busy workdays while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical change.
