Tanisha Crawford, LCSW

Tanisha Crawford is a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience helping people navigate hard life moments. She focuses on practical steps people can use to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and handle big changes. Tanisha explains things in plain language and keeps sessions grounded and approachable for busy lives.

Over two decades she has worked with people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, addiction, and burnout. She also supports those dealing with abandonment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment questions, and neurodiversity related topics such as autism. Her practice includes attention to mood, anger, self-esteem, and attention-deficit concerns like ADHD.

Tanisha uses methods that emphasize the client's experience and clear problem solving. She listens first, then helps clients set short-term goals and build coping skills. Sessions often combine understanding what's happening now with concrete techniques to try between meetings.

People meet her to gain tools for communication, to sort through family and blended-family stress, or to make plans after a major life shift. She also assists those coping with cancer in the family, caregiver strain, and substance use struggles. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits. Tanisha aims to make therapy a steady part of everyday life rather than an added burden.

How Tanisha’s approaches fit online therapy

Tanisha blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make online sessions practical and focused. Client-Centered Therapy means she starts by listening and following the client's priorities, creating space for people to tell their story and set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on their goals and day-to-day needs. This process is flexible and may shift as a client learns what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use techniques at home between sessions and practice new communication or coping skills in real life with support from a licensed professional.
