About Tanisha

Tanisha Peterson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With a decade of clinical practice, she draws on her education in psychology and social work to guide clients through challenges such as grief, trauma, parenting struggles, anger, career questions, and ADHD-related difficulties. Her approach emphasizes practical steps for coping and building self-esteem while honoring each person’s goals.

Peterson has worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those living with intellectual or developmental disabilities and caregivers supporting family members with complex needs. She blends person-centered principles with solution-focused techniques to help clients identify strengths, set achievable goals, and develop workable strategies for daily life.

Warm and encouraging, she aims to support clients in connecting with their authentic selves and making measurable progress toward their priorities.

Solution-Focused Care Delivered Online

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying practical steps and small, measurable changes that move a person toward their goals; it is useful for stress, anxiety, goal-setting, and many everyday challenges. The approach highlights what is already working for a client and builds brief, action-oriented plans to create momentum and strengthen coping skills.

Peterson combines solution-focused methods with person-centered principles, which means she prioritizes the client's values and preferences while collaborating to choose strategies that fit their life. Deciding which techniques to use is a shared process - she will work together with the client to determine the best therapeutic path based on needs, goals, and comfort with different formats and tools.

Online therapy offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into nontraditional schedules such as late evenings or weekend daytime hours. These options help maintain continuity of care, allow ongoing communication between meetings, and make it simpler to try solution-focused exercises in the context of daily routines.
