About Tasheena
Tasheena Carlson is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. Tasheena focuses on practical steps that fit daily life and aims to help clients feel safer and more capable in their choices.
She uses a holistic, strength-based, person-centered style. That means sessions begin where the client is and build on existing skills.
Background and approach
Tasheena treats the counseling relationship as a partnership and treats the client as the expert on their life. In sessions she works to identify small, doable tools for change. She helps people notice strengths they already have and practice new habits that reduce overwhelm.
Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented with space for reflection and emotion. Tasheena brings experience with a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and career stress. She also supports people coping with blended family issues, caregiver stress, and life purpose questions.
Her aim is to help clients move out of feeling stuck and toward clearer next steps. Outside of work she enjoys hiking, spending time in nature, painting, and singing in her car. Those interests inform a relaxed, down-to-earth approach in sessions.
Tasheena strives to offer a supportive place for people to explore change and build the life they want.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Two approaches Tasheena relies on are person-centered work and strength-based practice. Person-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting a person where they are so they can choose their next steps. Strength-based practice helps people identify existing skills and resources and put them to use in daily life to reduce stress and build confidence.She also takes a holistic view that looks at multiple parts of life, such as work, relationships, and self-care, when shaping goals and skills. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that feel most helpful, adjusting as they go.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to check in between sessions, share brief updates, or use messaging when a session on camera is not needed. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and keep continuity when schedules change.
