Tanisha Crawford, LCSW

Tanisha Crawford is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, coping with life changes, or facing relationship and parenting pressures. She also works with those dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Tanisha approaches sessions with a clear belief that each person knows their story best. She uses straightforward conversation to find what feels stuck and practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including ADHD, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, and family dynamics like blended households and adoption-related issues. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, cancer-related worries, and substance use problems.

Tanisha draws on client-centered methods to follow the client’s lead and on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck about change, and solution-focused tools target clear next steps when time is limited.

People can expect direct, empathetic conversation and practical tools to use between sessions. If someone prefers a goal-driven check-in or a more reflective dialogue, she adjusts to fit that style.

How her approaches translate into online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can better understand their own goals and choices. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through strong feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that affect relationships and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize reflective listening, skills training, motivation for change, or brief solution-focused steps.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the original biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing and techniques to work well in remote sessions while keeping the focus on achievable steps and real-world coping strategies.
