About Tanisha
Tanisha Crawford is a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. She focuses on guiding people through stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship concerns. Tanisha aims to make the first steps feel manageable and practical for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She uses straightforward, goal-focused work to help people spot what is driving their distress. Sessions usually include talking through immediate problems, learning coping strategies, and practicing small changes that add up over time.
How Tanisha works
She emphasizes the client’s own strengths and choices in every step. Tanisha draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a safe, respectful space where people lead the conversation. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help when someone needs a nudge toward change or wants concrete steps to try between sessions. Her practice covers common family and parenting pressures, blended family dynamics, attachment and abandonment concerns, and caregiving stress. She also addresses issues related to addiction, domestic violence, grief, and compassion fatigue.
Tanisha works with people affected by autism or adoption and foster care matters. People can expect a warm, practical approach that balances listening with hands-on tools. She helps set realistic goals and checks progress along the way.
The aim is clearer thinking, better coping, and stronger day-to-day functioning.

How Tanisha’s Approaches Work Online
Tanisha uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions focused on each person’s priorities and experience, providing space to be heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes that reduce anxiety and depression. Motivational Interviewing can help people who feel stuck find internal reasons to change and build a plan that fits their goals.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel right based on needs, goals, and day-to-day realities. This means adjusting techniques over time and checking in about what is or isn’t helping.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers written communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between visits.
