About Tanisha

Tanisha Peterson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana with ten years of professional experience. She earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Louisiana State University and A&M College and a Master of Social Work from Southern University of New Orleans. Her practice centers on working with people from diverse backgrounds to address challenges such as anxiety, negative self-talk, low self-esteem, and life adjustments.

She supports older adults navigating life transitions and works with individuals who have intellectual, developmental, or physical disabilities on areas like social skills, understanding a diagnosis, depression, and anxiety. She also provides guidance to family members of individuals with those diagnoses to help them manage the emotional and practical impacts of caregiving and family change.

Treatment draws on person-centered thinking and a range of therapeutic methods to reduce distress and help clients move toward their goals. Tanisha aims to help people connect with their most authentic selves and pursue meaningful progress. She has offered nontraditional hours, typically late evenings and Saturday daytime, and does not provide weekday daytime sessions. Tanisha Peterson is not currently accepting clients and does not work with international clients.

Practical Approaches and Online Support

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes identifying a client's strengths and small, achievable steps toward change. It is goal-oriented and often helps with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and immediate coping needs by highlighting what is already working and building from there.

Person-centered thinking prioritizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration. This approach supports people who are exploring self-esteem, life transitions, grief, or evolving relationships by creating space for clients to define their values and goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Tanisha collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. Together they consider which methods and pacing feel most helpful, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for clients balancing work, caregiving, or mobility concerns. These options make regular contact and timely support more accessible, allowing licensed professionals to deliver consistent care while accommodating varied schedules and communication styles.
