About Tanisha
Tanisha Harris is a licensed social worker who centers her work on practical, evidence-informed strategies that help people manage mood and relationship challenges.
Background and approach
With nine years of clinical experience, she frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside EMDR and solution-focused techniques to address stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as communication problems and isolation. She takes a collaborative, individualized approach, shaping conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s priorities and life context.
Tanisha emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions, encouraging clients to build self-awareness, coping skills, and healthier patterns of thinking and feeling. She aims to create a space where taking the first step toward change feels manageable and where progress is tracked against real-world goals.
Licensed in Washington as an LCSW and LICSW, Tanisha works in English and draws on a blend of short-term, solution-oriented methods and trauma-informed practices to support people navigating mood disorders, relationship strain, post-traumatic stress, self-harm concerns, and issues related to self-love and women’s health.
Online approaches for practical change and trauma care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood difficulties; it emphasizes concrete strategies and skill practice between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and the beliefs tied to them, often reducing the intensity of post-traumatic stress and related symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' strengths and short-term goals, helping people build actionable steps toward desired changes rather than spending extensive time on past causes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to consider goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, adjusting methods as progress is evaluated so the work stays aligned with what the client finds most helpful.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to access consistent care from Washington without commuting, and they allow clients to use the communication style that fits them best while working toward measurable goals.
