About Tashica
Tashica Halyard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, LGBTQ issues, family conflicts, depression, relationship problems, and trauma. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals to help people manage symptoms and daily challenges.
She uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used when values and meaningful action are central to a client's goals. Client-Centered methods guide how sessions are paced and how topics are explored.
Tashica also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Emotionally-Focused Therapy principles for intimate relationship concerns. She helps people break issues into manageable parts, practice new skills, and test small behavioral changes between sessions. Conversations are concrete and aimed at real-world change.
Her background includes work across multiple settings over eight years, including care related to addiction and family-of-origin problems. She lists additional focus areas such as attachment, codependency, communication problems, parenting and blended family issues. Those topics are addressed with step-by-step strategies and measurable goals.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients may be accepted. The practice operates on a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling follow the online therapy options button.
How she uses structured approaches in online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then trying specific exercises to change them. For example, a client with anxiety might keep a brief log of worried thoughts, test whether those thoughts are accurate, and practice alternative responses in daily life.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes clarifying what matters and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when stress or avoidance gets in the way of what someone wants to do. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the pace collaborative, with the therapist listening and reflecting so clients can decide which changes to try.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting tools as needed. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on steps that can be practiced between meetings.
