About Tashima
Tashima Kinney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for parents and individuals facing stress, relationship strain, mood problems, or trauma. She uses clear conversation and active listening to help people find better ways to cope and move forward. Her style is straightforward and solution-minded, aimed at small changes that add up over time.
With 13 years as an LPC in Missouri, she draws on a range of approaches to suit each person.
Background and approach
Tashima blends client-centered listening with mindfulness skills and solution-focused strategies to address concerns like anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and parenting challenges. She also works with issues such as blended family concerns, communication problems, and control or impulsivity struggles. Her background includes experience across community settings and roles working with adults and others in care-related work.
That experience shapes a practical approach - sessions usually focus on what can be tried between meetings. She emphasizes simple tools and small shifts that people can use right away. In sessions she uses mindfulness to help calm intense feelings and client-centered techniques to follow each person's priorities.
Solution-focused work helps set clear, achievable goals so progress is visible. Trauma-focused methods are used when past hurts keep getting in the way of daily life. People who want clear, actionable steps and a respectful listening space may find this approach helpful.
To begin, she asks a few questions to match goals and then plans sessions that fit individual needs and schedules.

Approach-driven online support for parenting and life stress
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist gives space for people to name what matters and builds sessions around their goals. This approach is helpful for parents who want straightforward, respectful guidance and for anyone trying to clarify priorities.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions. These techniques can help with anxiety, anger, and coping with everyday stressors so parents and individuals can respond more calmly in difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean focusing on brief solution-focused steps one week and practicing mindfulness skills the next. Decisions are made together so the plan stays practical and doable.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing encouragement between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, short breaks, or times when a shorter, message-based touchpoint is most useful.
