About Tarsha

Tarsha Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina who helps people navigate challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, anger, and stress.

Background and approach

She brings a person-centered stance to therapy, aiming to support clients as they work toward clearer self-understanding, stronger coping strategies, and more effective relationships. Her background in social services informs a practical, strengths-based approach to goals like improving communication, managing impulsivity, addressing grief, and rebuilding self-esteem.

With eight years of formal counseling experience and many additional years in social services roles, Tarsha draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods to meet each client where they are. She emphasizes self-determination, acceptance, and controlled emotional involvement while helping clients explore life purpose, reduce isolation, and address mood and attention concerns.

Tarsha encourages warmth, respect, and positive regard in sessions and seeks to identify and resolve barriers that affect functioning at home, work, or school.

Using Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Care

Tarsha integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problematic patterns; it tends to be practical and goal-oriented. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s autonomy, creating space for individuals to explore feelings and make their own choices in the healing process.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Tarsha works with clients to consider presenting concerns, personal goals, and preferences, then tailors techniques from these models to fit each person’s situation. That collaborative planning helps clarify which strategies feel most useful and when to adjust course.

Online therapy with Tarsha is offered through several formats to increase flexibility: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life changes occur, and access care from home or another convenient location. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured CBT exercises, reflective conversation, or skills coaching depending on what the client needs.
