My name is Tanisha Winfrey. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with five years of experience. I'm a graduate of Louisiana State University. I have a bachelors in Sociology and Masters in Social Work. I provide non-judgmental and caring approaches with all clients to help you work towards your goals. I provide a safe space where you can feel open to sharing life experiences. If you are currently facing difficulties or just want to express yourself, feel free to schedule an appointment with me.

I have worked with people facing a variety of challenges including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, homelessness, and people living with HIV. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral, dialectical Behavioral, and Solution Focused Therapy to assist clients who are facing these challenges. I'm available on nights and weekends to accommodate those with busy schedules. I'm available for phone, chat, and video sessions.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Tanisha, is a great therapist. She’s helped me to find confidence in myself again.

Reviewed April 2023

For me personally, Tanisha is the balance I needed. She is professional, yet personable, kind and empathetic yet firm and holds me accountable. She knows when to listen and when to ask the right reflective questions. She challenges me without overstretching me. She is consistent and reliable, yet knows when to break from the routine with a new exercise to help me grow. I cannot thank her enough for insights and support during what has been an incredibly difficult period in life and I am very grateful for the privilege of having access to her expertise.

I was nervous about using betterhelp and opening up to someone who I do not know, but Tanisha put me right at ease. I appreciate her insights, her tips and advice for things I can do to help myself, but most of all the sense of understanding that she gives me. I feel that I can be honest and not judged, she is very professional without being cold and distant. I would highly recommend her to anyone who feels lost and overwhelmed, she has helped me find my feet during a very difficult time and I am very appreciative of her kind and expert manner
