About Tarsha
Tarsha Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and difficult life changes. She works with individuals facing mood disorders, trauma, relationship strains, and parenting challenges. Her style is warm and respectful with an emphasis on real-world solutions.
She approaches sessions from a person-centered point of view. That means she starts by listening and honoring each person's goals. Clients are invited to take an active role in decisions about their care.
Background and approach
Tarsha encourages honest expression of feelings while keeping discussions grounded and constructive. Tarsha uses practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and learn new coping skills. Motivational interviewing helps explore ambivalence and find personal reasons to make change.
Sessions often include skill practice, problem-solving, and planning for everyday life. With eight years as an LPC and many additional years in social services, she brings experience working across settings like schools, community programs, and clinical care. That background informs a calm, solutions-oriented approach to problems such as impulsivity, grief, and self-esteem struggles.
People who come to Tarsha can expect straightforward conversation about what is causing distress and steps to reduce it. She pays attention to control issues, communication problems, and patterns that keep people stuck. The work aims to help people feel more in charge of their reactions and better able to meet life’s demands.

Approaches and online therapy options
Tarsha draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her online practice. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behavioral patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and anger. DBT teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for impulse control and intense emotions. She also uses client-centered principles that prioritize listening and the client's own goals while using motivational interviewing techniques to support change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tarsha will work with each person to figure out which methods suit their needs and goals. She checks in about what is working and adapts plans as progress is made so therapy stays focused and practical.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or times with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing check-ins, brief coping coaching, or people who prefer written communication.
