About Tashica

Tashica Halyard is a licensed counselor with eight years of clinical experience who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship struggles, and identity-related concerns. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence and emphasizes collaborative work so clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace.

Background and approach

Her practice supports people dealing with family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy and communication problems, parenting and blended-family challenges, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and life transitions that can feel overwhelming.

Tashica integrates evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered techniques to create a tailored plan for each person.

Licensed as an LPC and LCPC and practicing in Maryland, she aims to empower clients to identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen coping skills, and pursue goals aligned with their values. The work begins with an honest conversation about what matters most and builds practical, sustainable strategies for change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to emotional distress; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many everyday challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward meaningful goals, which can help with stress, grief, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and supported while they explore change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively to determine which methods best align with each client's goals, circumstances, and preferences. Together they review what helps, adjust strategies over time, and prioritize interventions that feel manageable and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel and allow ongoing support even when in-person visits aren’t possible.
