Tanisha Winfrey , LCSW

Tanisha Winfrey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with three years of clinical experience. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a Master of Social Work from Louisiana State University, and she integrates that training into a compassionate, goal-focused practice. Tanisha emphasizes a nonjudgmental, caring stance and creates a space where clients can talk openly about their experiences and work toward meaningful change.

Her work has included supporting people facing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, homelessness, and individuals living with HIV, and she applies evidence-based methods to address a wide range of concerns including stress, relationships, trauma, grief, addictions, and life transitions. Tanisha draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor interventions to each person’s needs and strengths. She aims to blend practical skills with collaborative problem solving so clients leave sessions with concrete strategies and clearer direction.

Tanisha offers sessions through video, phone, and live chat, and has structured availability to include evenings and weekends to accommodate different schedules. Her practice centers on meeting people where they are and working together to build coping skills, support recovery, and promote personal growth.

Approaches that guide online care and support

Tanisha integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - tools that can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and coping with crises. In addition, Solution-Focused Therapy supports brief, goal-oriented work by helping clients notice strengths and small changes that move them toward their goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tanisha collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Tanisha is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular care, fit sessions into busy lives, and continue progress from wherever clients are located.
