About Tarsha

Tarsha Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of formal therapy experience and a lengthy background in social services.

Background and approach

She centers her work on helping clients navigate concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and communication problems, stress, and life transitions. Her approach emphasizes respect, warmth, and supporting people to move toward their goals while fostering self-determination.

Tarsha practices from a person-centered stance informed by long-standing social work principles that prioritize individual strengths, the purposeful expression of feelings, acceptance, and a nonjudgmental attitude. She uses evidence-based techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing as needed to build practical skills for managing emotions, impulsivity, and interpersonal difficulties.

Her sessions aim to identify barriers that affect functioning at home, work, or school and to develop realistic strategies that support improved coping and healthier relationships. Located in South Carolina, Tarsha brings a collaborative, strengths-focused style to therapeutic work and encourages clients to take an active role in making choices that align with their values and life goals.

Approaches and Online Options for Growth

Tarsha commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when working with clients online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or difficulties with attention and impulsivity. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills useful for managing intense feelings, impulsivity, and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and current challenges with each client and tailors methods accordingly, combining person-centered support with targeted interventions as needed to create a treatment plan that fits the individual.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to receive regular support around work, parenting, or caregiving schedules and to practice skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt tools and exercises to suit each format, making it possible to work on mood, attention, coping, and communication from wherever the client is located.
