About Tanisha
Tanisha Peterson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people in Louisiana facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and life transitions. She uses straightforward, goal-focused methods to help clients tackle problems and build practical coping skills.

Peterson brings ten years of experience working with people from diverse backgrounds. She has supported individuals managing intellectual and developmental disabilities, chronic illness, and aging-related concerns.
Background and approach
She also helps family members cope with a loved one’s diagnosis and the changes that follow. Her sessions emphasize short-term, solution-focused work aimed at small, measurable steps. Clients can expect talk that leads to clear next steps, skill practice between sessions, and adjustments as needed.
The approach blends person-centered care with targeted problem-solving to reduce overwhelm and increase confidence. Tanisha offers flexible scheduling, including late evenings and Saturday daytime hours for those who cannot attend standard daytime appointments. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Louisiana State University and A&M College, and a Master’s degree in Social Work from Southern University of New Orleans. Tanisha speaks English and practices in Louisiana as an LA LCSW.

Approaches Tanisha lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Solution-Focused care and online access
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical changes that lead to noticeable improvements. The work focuses on what is already going well and builds on those strengths to set achievable goals and next steps. This approach is well suited to people looking for focused help with problems like anger, stress, and relationship patterns.Tanisha also uses person-centered listening alongside solution-focused techniques. That means conversations center on the person and their priorities, while also identifying concrete steps to try between sessions. Together with the therapist, clients decide which tools feel most useful for their situation and adjust as goals evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual interaction. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or choose a format that feels quicker and more flexible. These options help people access consistent support without rearranging their whole day.
