Tarsha Washington

Tarsha Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and career questions. She brings a warm, respectful approach and aims to support individuals as they work toward clearer goals. Sessions focus on listening carefully and encouraging clients to use their strengths. Tarsha uses a person-centered style that values each person's choices and experiences. She emphasizes self-determination and helps people express feelings in a way that promotes understanding. Her work often addresses communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and struggles with self-esteem. With eight years as a licensed counselor and additional years in social services, she draws on practical experience from multiple settings. Her first academic training in social work influenced a focus on individual strengths and realistic problem solving. That background guides how she looks at barriers at home, work, or school. Therapy sessions involve direct, plain talk about what is happening in daily life. Tarsha helps people identify small steps they can take toward relief and better functioning. She uses methods that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when they fit the person’s goals. Clients can expect an atmosphere of acceptance and nonjudgmental support. Tarsha aims to spot patterns that get in the way and to help people develop skills to cope with mood shifts, impulsivity, or relationship stress. Her focus also includes parenting concerns, grief, and finding meaning or life purpose.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making sure the person feels heard and valued. It helps people build confidence to make their own choices and to speak freely about what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It uses practical exercises and small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will try different tools until a good fit is found. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the individual move forward.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. It also makes it simpler to maintain continuity during transitions like job changes or moving between schedules, while the therapist and client decide what rhythm of meetings works best.
