About Tahseen

Tahseen Shaista is an Illinois-licensed counselor (LCPC) who brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, attention and focus concerns including ADHD, trauma and abuse, and substance-related challenges.

Background and approach

Her approach centers on recognizing each person's strengths and partnering with clients to pursue meaningful change. Clients can expect a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where emotional struggles and life transitions are explored with clarity and compassion.

Tahseen has guided people through grief, relationship challenges, and issues such as impulsivity, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic attacks, and feelings of isolation. She also addresses concerns like codependency, communication problems, multicultural issues, and midlife transitions.

Tahseen aims to empower clients to build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and clarify life purpose. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English, using a range of online formats to increase access.

Her practice emphasizes practical strategies alongside emotional insight to support sustainable wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Two commonly used evidence-based approaches in Tahseen's work are cognitive-behavioral techniques and skills-based emotion regulation strategies. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, obsessions, and impulsive habits. Emotion regulation and coping skills focus on recognizing triggers, building tolerance for distress, and practicing new ways to respond to strong feelings, which supports work on trauma, mood dysregulation, and addiction-related impulses.

Finding the right approach is collaborative: the therapist assesses concerns, listens to client goals, and tailors methods over time. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques fit best, and adjustments are made as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule care around work, school, or travel. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent treatment, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care for people in different locations, including international clients.
