About Tasheena

Tasheena Carlson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addiction concerns, and common life transitions. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, relationship challenges, and career or caregiving strain.

Tasheena uses a person-centered, strength-based style. She focuses on building a safe working relationship and meeting people where they are. Sessions aim to identify existing strengths and turn them into practical coping tools.

Background and approach

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She talks through goals, practices skills together, and helps clients try small changes between sessions. The emphasis is on gradual progress rather than quick fixes.

Tasheena has worked in settings that gave her experience with a wide range of concerns, including LGBT issues, intimacy matters, blended family stress, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes supporting people navigating divorce, substance use, and recovery from traumatic events. Outside of work she enjoys hiking, painting, and singing in her car.

That personal side informs a style that is warm, grounded, and practical. She aims to make therapy a space where clients can explore, grow, and build a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Practical approaches and online therapy options

Many of Tasheena's methods focus on simple, evidence-based techniques that help with mood, attention, and coping. One common approach involves skill-building for stress and anxiety management - learning breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. These tools often help people with ADHD, anxiety, or high stress stay more focused and calm.

Another helpful method centers on strength-based, person-centered work. This approach emphasizes identifying what already works for the client and expanding those skills. It helps with issues like low self-esteem, motivation, relationship struggles, and navigating life changes by turning small successes into steady progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tasheena works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit each person's needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what’s helping and adjusts the plan so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit care into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping continuity of support.
