Tanisha Peterson , LCSW

Tanisha Peterson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. She supports people facing grief, trauma, life changes, career decisions, and struggles with self-esteem and anger. Tanisha also works with clients coping with ADHD and with caregiving or chronic illness stress. She practices in Louisiana and offers services in English.

Tanisha keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused. She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify practical steps and small changes that move them forward. Conversations aim to be clear and action-oriented so progress can be noticed between sessions.

Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Louisiana State University and A&M College and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Southern University of New Orleans. Tanisha brings a decade of experience working with people from diverse backgrounds, including older adults facing life transitions and those with intellectual or developmental differences.

She often helps family members who care for someone with a disability to find ways to cope and set realistic goals. Sessions may address skills, communication patterns, and managing daily stressors that come with caregiving and chronic health concerns.

Tanisha offers evening and Saturday daytime hours to fit nontraditional schedules. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different needs and routines.

Solution-Focused Care and Online Options

Tanisha often uses Solution-Focused Therapy, a short-term approach that helps people set clear goals and identify what is already working. It is useful for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and practical life changes because it emphasizes small steps that build momentum.

Her conversations are collaborative. She works with each person to figure out which approach fits best based on goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on skills practice, communication changes, or problem-solving steps tailored to the situation.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings or weekends and to maintain progress despite a busy life.
