About Tanisha
Tanisha Peterson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, relationship concerns, and changes in life. She practices in Louisiana and offers straightforward, goal-focused support for everyday struggles. Tanisha speaks English and draws on ten years of experience working with adults from diverse backgrounds.
She uses a person-centered style and solution-focused methods to help people set small, practical goals. Sessions tend to focus on what you want to change and the next steps you can take.
Background and approach
Tanisha works with issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, and career questions. Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Louisiana State University and A&M College and a Master of Social Work from Southern University of New Orleans.
She holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and has spent a decade supporting people through major life transitions and ongoing stressors. Tanisha also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and intellectual disability. She helps family members cope with a loved one’s diagnosis and the changes that follow.
Her approach is direct and collaborative: identify a clear goal, try a few practical techniques, and track what helps. She offers evening and Saturday daytime appointments for people who need hours outside a standard schedule.

Solution-Focused Care and Online Options
Solution-Focused Therapy is one of the main approaches she uses. It focuses on small, practical steps and measurable goals rather than dwelling on the past. This style is often helpful for people who want clear actions to try between sessions and quick ways to notice progress.She also emphasizes person-centered listening, which means sessions follow the client’s priorities and pace. That collaborative stance makes it easier to choose techniques that fit your life and values. Together you’ll decide whether to keep using solution-focused methods or try a different route based on your goals.
Online therapy with her uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels uncomfortable. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, coaching-style notes, or when you prefer writing to speaking. These options let scheduling work around evenings and Saturday daytime hours, and they make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy routine.
