About Tanika
Tanika Black is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 14 years of experience to her practice in Louisiana.

She also supports clients dealing with ADHD, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related concerns.
Tanika creates a welcoming space where clients can speak freely about their thoughts and feelings. She aims for straightforward conversations and practical steps rather than clinical jargon.
How Tanika works
Her work includes support for people navigating sexual identity and LGBT-related concerns. Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. She helps clients identify what matters most and shapes sessions to meet those goals.
That can include addressing sleep and eating disturbances, parenting strain, career stress, or compassion fatigue.

Practical approaches for online therapy and flexible care
Tanika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, concrete ways. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms; it teaches skills you can practice between sessions. Another approach helps people manage intense emotions and build coping skills for anger, impulsivity, or relationship stress through step-by-step strategies and paced skill building. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your needs and goals and collaborate with you to try techniques that fit your situation. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what helps most, so clients are active partners in choosing methods. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you keep face-to-face contact when needed. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is helpful. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options increase flexibility and help people stay consistent with care.Start online instead of waiting
