About Tanisha
Tanisha Winfrey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with three years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, parenting strains, anger, and related life challenges.

She uses clear, practical tools in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills help with regulating strong emotions and managing tension with others. Solution-Focused work narrows in on small, doable steps toward the goals a person sets.
Tanisha draws on Motivational Interviewing when people feel stuck or uncertain about change. That approach focuses on the person’s own reasons for change and builds momentum one step at a time. Sessions tend to be straightforward conversations that include skill practice and short-term planning.
She has worked with people facing mood disorders and situations that affect daily living. Tanisha also has experience supporting individuals living with HIV and those who have experienced homelessness. Her background includes a Bachelor’s in Sociology and a Master’s in Social Work from Louisiana State University.
