About Tanisha

Tanisha Harris is a licensed clinical social worker who centers EMDR alongside practical talk therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and trauma. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and brings nine years of clinical experience to her practice in Washington. Tanisha writes and listens with compassion, and she aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable.

In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that change daily behavior.

Background and approach

She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, an approach used to reduce the hold of painful memories and the strong reactions they cause. Solution-Focused Therapy helps people set short-term goals and notice progress quickly. Treatment plans are built to match each person’s needs.

Tanisha adapts session work to the concerns a person brings, whether that is depression, bipolar mood shifts, relationship strain, or lingering effects of abuse. She works to keep language clear and practical so people can use tools between meetings. Her approach blends skills practice, memory-processing strategies, and goal-focused conversations.

That mix is aimed at easing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. Tanisha values sensitivity and respect in the therapeutic relationship. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible access.

To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How EMDR, CBT, and Solution-Focused Work Online

Tanisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this often means setting small, practical homework and tracking results between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the reactions they trigger, with the therapist guiding processing steps during sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear goals and quick steps forward, focusing on what is working and how to build on it.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about needs, goals, and how each method feels in practice. Together they may try one approach first and adjust as progress and preferences become clear.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving. Video is useful for full sessions and exercises that benefit from visual interaction. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written conversation or want to work in shorter bursts throughout the week. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to practice new skills between meetings.
