Tanisha Golub , LCSW

Tanisha Golub is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and women’s issues. She focuses on clear, actionable steps that people can use right away. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.

She helps people work through life transitions like divorce and separation, grieving losses, and the day-to-day strain of feeling isolated or overwhelmed. Tanisha emphasizes building self-compassion and improving communication skills in everyday situations. Sessions often include short-term goals and techniques to ease panic attacks and social anxiety.

Tanisha draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and practice calm, steady attention to the present. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people clarify what they want and take manageable steps toward it.

Her approach is collaborative: she and the person decide what to try and adjust as needed. Tanisha prefers straightforward language and practical homework between sessions so progress continues outside the appointment.

With seven years of clinical experience, she brings both empathy and a focus on skills that lead to daily relief. Sessions accommodate different preferences through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. All work is done in English and guided by the person’s goals.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing them with real-world changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It gives practical tools people can use between sessions to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches basic attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve concentration. It can help with panic, rumination, and the distress that comes with major life changes by training calmer responses in everyday moments.

Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and find internal reasons to change. It pairs well with solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals that build confidence over time.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. This means techniques can be blended and adapted during online sessions rather than fixed in advance.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel time. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or shorter reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice skills in real-life settings.
