Tasheena Carlson, LMHC

Tasheena Carlson is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addiction concerns, grief, and life transitions. Tasheena also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and caregiver strain. She offers therapy for adults and teens and accepts international clients who speak English.

Tasheena uses a holistic, strength-based, person-centered style. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients feel heard. Her goal is to meet each person where they are and build on existing strengths rather than start from scratch.

In sessions she focuses on identifying practical skills that make daily life easier. She works with clients to spot patterns that keep them stuck and to try new ways of responding. Tasheena describes the counseling relationship as a partnership in which the client is the expert on their life.

Her work often includes helping caregivers manage stress, navigate blended family issues, and cope after loss or major change. She also offers support for people dealing with substance concerns, trauma and abuse, feelings of emptiness, and rebuilding self-love.

Outside of practice Tasheena enjoys hiking, painting, and singing in her car. She brings that same down-to-earth energy into sessions, aiming to make therapy both a challenge and a supportive place to grow.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online counseling

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques can mean different practical methods in session. Person-centered work focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters most to the client, and building trust so people can find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort through feelings and clarify goals.

A strength-based approach looks for existing skills and resources a person already uses, then expands those tools to handle stress, caregiver strain, or life changes. This can be useful for people who want actionable steps to manage day-to-day challenges. A holistic approach considers emotional, social, and practical parts of life and aims to create plans that fit each person’s routine.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with clients to identify what feels most helpful and adjust methods over time based on goals and preferences. Clients and therapist share decision-making about what to try next.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and let sessions fit into a workday or a caregiver’s routine. It can also allow shorter check-ins on busy days or longer sessions when more time is available, depending on the formats offered.
