About Tanisha

Tanisha Richardson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 13 years of professional experience. As an LCSW she holds a clinical social work license and applies that training to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting and family challenges, relationship and communication problems, grief, and struggles with self-esteem and addiction. Her background includes work with foster care and adoption issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, and helping clients manage anger and the emotional fallout of life changes.

She approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, believing that healing is a process that involves moving through difficult feelings rather than simply getting over them. She emphasizes the importance of feeling pain, sadness, and loneliness as part of the path toward greater fulfillment, and she frames the journey as one that can lead to renewed hope and resilience.

Tanisha individualizes conversations and treatment plans to meet each person’s specific needs, drawing on evidence-based strategies to address both immediate coping and longer-term growth. She aims to support and empower clients as they navigate healing, parenting, career challenges, and relationship repair, helping them find practical steps forward while honoring the emotions that arise along the way.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace and direction of work. This approach helps people who need support processing emotions, improving self-esteem, and exploring personal values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more constructive patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and practical coping strategies that can be practiced between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and communication, and helps couples or family members build clearer expression and stronger bonds. It is helpful when relationship patterns and attachment needs are central concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tanisha Richardson collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can happen as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage transportation challenges, and maintain continuity of support during life transitions.
