How Tasheena’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy starts by listening closely to what matters to the client and making space for their priorities. This approach helps people who need a reflective, nonjudgmental place to talk about relationships, family stress, or career worries.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing out small, practical changes. It works well for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that affect relationships.

Motivational interviewing is a focused way to help someone find their own reasons to change. It can be useful when facing addictions, ambivalence about commitment, or when someone feels stuck about making a change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tasheena collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, often combining listening with action steps. She works together with clients to set clear, manageable aims and to adjust methods when needed.
