Tanisha Richardson , LCSW

Tanisha Richardson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York who focuses on helping people navigate trauma, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, foster care and adoption concerns, abandonment, sexual abuse, and anger management. She brings a compassionate, respectful, and sensitive approach to her work, meeting each person where they are and honoring their individual experience.

Tanisha emphasizes the idea that healing is a process that often requires moving through pain rather than simply getting over it. She encourages clients to feel and process difficult emotions while holding on to hope for growth and renewed purpose. Her work centers on tailoring conversations and treatment plans to the unique needs of each individual, offering support and empowerment as people take steps toward greater wellbeing.

In sessions she prioritizes collaboration, clear intent, and practical strategies that reflect the clientâs goals. Tanisha aims to create a space in which people can explore difficult memories, strengthen relationships, build parenting skills, and learn tools to manage anger and emotional distress. She offers steady guidance while honoring each personâs resilience and capacity for change.

Approaches for Online Healing and Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental conversation in which the therapist listens closely and follows the clientâs lead. This approach supports self-discovery, emotional expression, and building confidence to make meaningful changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building; it is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based method that helps people process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often used for trauma and abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tanisha works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses to ensure a good match between approach and outcome.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow people to access support from home or other convenient places. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver effective, focused work that addresses immediate concerns and long-term goals.
