About Tanisha
Tanisha Richardson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anger, trauma, relationship strain, and life changes. She practices from New York and brings 13 years of experience to her work. Tanisha aims to create a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate space for anyone who wants support navigating hard moments.
Tanisha believes healing often means moving through difficult feelings rather than avoiding them. She encourages people to notice emotions and use them as a guide to make different choices.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals, practical options, and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her approach blends client-centered conversations with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused work. She also uses existential ideas to help people find meaning, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to address trauma when appropriate.
These methods are adapted to each person’s needs and goals. Tanisha works with a wide range of concerns, including parenting stress, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, career worries, and family problems. She often addresses attachment issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress as part of broader work on relationships and coping skills.
In sessions she listens first, then helps people set practical steps for change. The plan may include short-term coping tools, deeper trauma processing, or coaching-style support for life transitions. Her goal is to help clients build skills and regain a sense of direction.

How Tanisha’s approaches translate to online care
Tanisha blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s pace, which helps build trust and identify immediate goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them, useful for managing anger, anxiety, and stress. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that can help reduce the intensity of difficult memories when it is a good fit.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, preferences, and goals, and then recommend approaches or a blend of methods. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what the person wants to prioritize.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and more interactive skill work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when a written check-in fits a busy schedule. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines.
