Tarsha Washington

Tarsha Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing life transitions and hard moments. She supports concerns such as coping with life changes, stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, parenting stress, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar. Her work is direct and respectful, aimed at helping people identify steps they can try between sessions.

She uses a person-centered stance that encourages clients to make their own choices. That means she listens first, looks for strengths, and helps people name what matters to them. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes.

Dialectical behavior therapy techniques appear in her approach when managing strong emotions and impulsivity. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. Tarsha blends these methods to fit each person’s goals rather than following one fixed formula.

Tarsha has worked in social services since 2015 as a licensed therapist and brings eight years of counseling experience. Her earlier social work training shaped how she connects with people and emphasizes acceptance, purposeful emotional expression, and self-determination.

Clients can expect a calm, warm tone and clear, goal-focused conversations. Tarsha aims to help people reduce overwhelm, improve communication, and find practical ways to move forward in everyday life.

Her practice is based in South Carolina and she conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Tarsha uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening, acceptance, and helping people identify their own goals; it is useful for people grappling with life changes and family stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers concrete techniques to test new behaviors and reduce unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tarsha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs and goals. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what the person prefers, so therapy becomes a joint process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Session options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit into a busy week, remove commuting time, and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it easier to practice skills between sessions in real-life settings and to bring specific situations into conversation more quickly. Discussing logistics during the first contact will clarify what will work best for scheduling and day-to-day life.
