Tasheena Carlson , LMHC

Tasheena Carlson is a Washington-licensed LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with seven years of professional experience supporting adults and teens. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, low motivation, challenges with self-esteem and confidence, depression, and major life transitions. Her practice blends holistic perspectives with a strengths-based, person-centered approach that emphasizes each individual’s capacity for growth.

She strives to create a space where people feel safe enough to explore goals and develop practical skills. Tasheena helps clients identify existing abilities, build new coping tools, and take steps toward the life they want. She approaches therapy as a collaborative alliance, viewing clients as the experts of their own lives while offering guidance to access inner resources and promote meaningful change.

Outside of work she enjoys hiking, spending time in nature, painting, and singing loudly in the privacy of her car. Driven by a longstanding interest in the human mind and how people relate to one another, she sees therapy as both a challenging and supportive opportunity for exploration and growth and welcomes the chance to provide that space.

Person-Centered and Strengths-Based Online Support

Tasheena uses person-centered methods that prioritize the client’s perspective, offering a nonjudgmental environment where an individual’s priorities and goals guide the work. This approach can be helpful for people navigating self-esteem, relationship concerns, or life transitions. She also employs strengths-based techniques that focus on identifying and building existing abilities and resources to address challenges such as anxiety, low motivation, and coping with change. Additionally, her holistic orientation considers emotional, social, and lifestyle factors to support overall well-being and resilience.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; Tasheena collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to adjust strategies over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy life, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity when schedules or locations change, while still allowing meaningful collaboration with licensed professionals and therapists.
