About Tawanda
Dr. Tawanda Kitchen helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and life changes. She also supports concerns around self-esteem, attachment, body image, and caregiver stress.
She is an LPC practicing in Texas and works with a wide range of emotional and relationship-related concerns. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communications, a Master’s in Counseling, and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Management. Her education has shaped a practical, calm style in sessions.
How Tawanda works
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts methods to what each person needs. Sessions focus on building emotional awareness and practical coping skills. She talks through feelings, patterns, and everyday challenges.
She helps people set small, doable goals and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. Her work has included settings across several states, which exposed her to many different life circumstances and stressors. That experience informs a flexible approach rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Treatment plans are adjusted over time as needs change. Dr. Kitchen emphasizes self-care, emotional intelligence, and gradual progress.
People leave sessions with concrete strategies for managing anxiety, handling transitions, and addressing shame or guilt. She aims to make the process understandable and practical for someone juggling a busy life.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Kitchen draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on emotional skills and practical change. One approach emphasizes building emotional awareness and regulation, teaching people how to name feelings, notice patterns, and use specific tools to reduce anxiety and stress. Another common focus is trauma-informed methods that help people process difficult memories at a steady, manageable pace and reduce the hold of past events on daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time as needs shift and progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits a short break. Live chat and messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy day or to follow up between sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into a real-life schedule rather than the other way around.
