About Tarsha Washington
She earned her undergraduate degree in Social Work from Herbert Lehman College in the Bronx, New York, where she was introduced to the social work relationship principles of Felix Biestek. Those principles inform her practice and include recognition of each person as an individual, encouragement of appropriate expression of feelings, sensitivity through controlled emotional involvement, acceptance of strengths and weaknesses, a nonjudgmental attitude, the promotion of self-determination, and respect for a person's right to personal nature of sessions. Tarsha explains these ideas in practical terms to help clients feel seen and to foster realistic approaches to barriers.
Tarsha operates with the client's best interest in mind, working to understand barriers that may disrupt functioning at home, at school, at work, or in the community. Her focus is on helping people identify and address the issues that interfere with daily life so they can move toward improved social functioning and personal goals.

Approaches and online care with a person-centered focus
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's experience and emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the individual's capacity for self-direction. It helps people exploring identity, self-esteem, and life transitions by creating a supportive space to make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact; it is often used to manage anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to reframe unhelpful thinking and change patterns of behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines acceptance and change strategies and offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and impulsivity.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tarsha works together with each person to identify needs, priorities, and preferences, and she blends methods when appropriate so the plan fits the client's goals. This collaborative stance helps clarify which tools will be most helpful over time.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other obligations. Those options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access timely support, and continue progress from a convenient location while working with licensed professionals who adapt methods to each client's circumstances.
