Tashinika Crowley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 10 years of clinical experience working with adults, adolescents, and individuals in correctional settings. She earned a PhD in Social Work from Jackson State University in 2020 and a Master of Science in Counseling from Mississippi College in 2013, bringing academic training and practical experience to her counseling work.

As an LPC, she focuses on helping clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop healthier ways of responding to life’s challenges. She places strong emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - the view that changing thoughts can change behaviors - and has used this approach with many clients, finding it particularly effective in addressing symptoms related to mood and anxiety. Her background includes work across diverse settings, which informs a flexible approach to treatment that is shaped by each client’s needs and circumstances.

Across her practice, she integrates evidence-informed techniques to help clients navigate stress, relationship difficulties, trauma-related concerns, and other life transitions. Her training in social work and counseling supports a clinically grounded perspective aimed at practical change and improved day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person from their own perspective. In practice, this approach involves listening closely, reflecting what the client shares, and supporting the client’s own goals - it is helpful for improving self-esteem, navigating life transitions, and building stronger relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop coping strategies, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaboration may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time to maximize what helps.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients and licensed professionals to connect in ways that suit schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from therapists even when life is busy or travel is difficult.
