About Tanisha
Tanisha Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with nine years of practice in Washington. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and bipolar disorder. Sessions are conducted in English and intended for adults.
Her work focuses on concrete skills and clear steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. She also includes EMDR for processing traumatic memories and Solution-Focused Therapy for short-term goal work.
In sessions she listens to what is most pressing and then outlines achievable steps. That might mean tracking thoughts and moods, practicing different reactions, or setting small, measurable goals. She emphasizes practical changes rather than long theoretical talks.
Her experience includes a range of mood and trauma-related concerns. She works with communication problems, isolation and loneliness, post-traumatic stress, self-harm thoughts, and issues many women and young adults face.
Before a first session she asks about current concerns and what the person hopes to change. The initial conversation is used to set clear, short-term aims and decide which methods to try first. Progress is reviewed and plans adjusted as needed.
How CBT, EMDR and solution-focused work in online sessions
CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It breaks problems into small parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - and uses exercises people can practice between sessions to change how they respond.EMDR helps people process distressing memories by guiding attention while discussing the memory. It is often used when trauma or abuse has left painful reactions that repeat in daily life.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what the person wants to change and sets short-term, measurable goals. Sessions often involve identifying small, concrete steps that produce quick, observable differences.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk about options, try techniques, and adjust based on what is working and what the client prefers. That conversation is part of the early sessions.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, since the biography does not specify formats here. Online options can make it easier to fit work into a busy day, reduce travel time, handle shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoid needing to be on camera when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency with scheduled sessions.
