About Talisha

Talisha Telsee, MS, LPC, LMHC brings a cognitive behavioral approach to her counseling work, pairing practical skill-building with attention to emotions and relationships.

Background and approach

With 17 years of clinical experience, she helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family struggles, and life transitions by combining evidence-informed strategies and relational perspectives.

Her practice integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when appropriate, adapting tools to each person’s concerns such as grief, addictions, intimacy issues, eating and body image concerns, parenting challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore feelings, patterns, and practical steps toward change. Based in South Carolina and licensed as LPC and LMHC, she offers a thoughtful mix of coaching and clinical perspectives to support coping, communication, and healthier relationships.

Beginning therapy with her involves assessing needs, identifying goals, and selecting approaches that match a client's priorities and preferences.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches with Online Flexibility

Talisha frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it often supports work on anxiety, depression, coping skills, and specific behavior changes. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes values-based action and learning to make space for difficult thoughts and feelings while building a meaningful life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to assess needs, try interventions, and adjust methods based on goals and preferences so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model on every situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support between appointments. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access therapeutic tools and feedback in ways that suit each person’s routine.
