About Tarsha
Tarsha Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing parenting challenges and related family concerns. She focuses on practical steps that reduce stress and improve daily interactions. Her approach is warm and respectful, aimed at helping clients feel heard and able to make meaningful choices.
She uses a person-centered style that emphasizes each person's strengths and values. That means sessions start by listening to what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
From there she helps set realistic goals and small steps to get there. Tarsha draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. She also uses dialectical behavior techniques to teach coping skills for intense emotions and strong reactions.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. Her background includes an undergraduate degree in social work and many years working in social services. She has eight years formally providing therapy services and broader experience in roles supporting adults, families, and children.
In sessions she aims to be nonjudgmental and to encourage self-determination. Conversations are focused on real-life problems like communication breakdowns, anger, grief, mood changes, stress, and parenting strain. The goal is clearer understanding and practical tools you can try between sessions.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals. Online sessions using this approach begin by exploring what matters most to the client and building a plan that fits their life and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online session this often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavioral changes between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, or parenting stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying CBT for behavior change, DBT skills for strong emotions, or mixing approaches as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a more interactive session is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients message between sessions for brief emotional support or to share updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
