About Tanisha

Tanisha Golub is a licensed clinical social worker who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a cornerstone of her approach to help people rethink unhelpful patterns and build practical coping skills.

Background and approach

She blends CBT with mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques to support clients facing depression, anxiety, grief, and major life changes, guiding them toward clearer thinking and more manageable day-to-day routines. In sessions she emphasizes collaborative, individualized care that encourages self-compassion and skills development.

Clients work on improving communication, addressing feelings of isolation or shame, and confronting panic symptoms with concrete strategies aimed at reducing distress and increasing resilience. Tanisha also addresses concerns around self-esteem, sexuality, social anxiety, and women's issues within this practical framework.

With seven years of clinical experience practicing in California, she draws on motivational interviewing to strengthen client motivation and help people clarify values and goals. Her practice supports those navigating divorce or separation, searching for life purpose, or coping with interpersonal difficulties, offering a steady, respectful presence as clients explore change and growth.

CBT and Mindfulness Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching concrete skills such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and exposure strategies; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and social phobia. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills to reduce rumination and increase emotional regulation, making it useful for stress, grief, and difficulties with self-compassion.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to understand current challenges, personal goals, and preferences, and then tailor a mix of techniques so the work fits the individual rather than expecting one method to suit everyone. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused elements may be woven in to build motivation and set concrete steps toward change.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer remote access. These formats allow consistent, ongoing support while making it easier to practice skills between meetings and to engage in therapy from varied locations according to what best fits a client's life.
