About Tarsha
Tarsha Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and trauma. She works with concerns related to family issues, parenting, grief, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and relationship problems. Her approach centers on practical support and clear direction for everyday problems.
Tarsha keeps sessions person-focused and respectful. She encourages people to share their feelings and make choices that fit their values. Conversations are calm and direct, with attention to real-life barriers at home, work, or school.
How Tarsha works
She aims to strengthen coping skills and improve communication. Her background includes an undergraduate degree in social work from Herbert Lehman College in the Bronx, New York. Tarsha has eight years as a licensed counselor and many additional years working in social services roles.
That practical experience informs how she helps people manage mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and life transitions. She uses client-centered methods to create space for self-determination and honest expression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Motivational Interviewing strategies are added when a client needs emotion regulation tools or help managing impulsivity. Tarsha aims to partner with each person to set achievable goals. Progress is tracked with steps that fit daily life.
She pays attention to control issues, feelings of isolation, guilt, forgiveness, and finding life purpose while helping people move toward greater self-love and healthier relationships.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual and their right to make choices. The therapist listens with acceptance and helps clients express feelings so they can decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking and practice different behaviors to ease anxiety, depression, or mood swings.Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs to choose which methods to use. Sessions can shift over time so tools match what is happening in a person’s life and what they want to change.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is good for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can help with quick support, reminders, or brief check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to keep appointments, work therapy into a busy week, and use the approach that fits each person’s routine.
