About Tarisha

Tarisha McCullen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and work and wellbeing concerns. She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to help clients return to living and loving their lives as fully as possible.

She approaches each person with compassion and without judgment. Sessions start by listening to what feels most urgent. From there she tailors the plan to practical steps that match each person’s situation and goals.

Tarisha has worked with a wide range of mental health challenges, including mood disorders, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, and low self-esteem. Workplace issues and communication problems are among the areas she addresses as well.

Her background includes work with family problems, adoption and foster care situations, veteran and armed forces issues, postpartum depression, and trichotillomania. Tarisha aims to meet people where they are and to adapt her approach to what each person needs in the moment.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and practical coping strategies. She works in English from North Carolina and is available to people internationally. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Tarisha emphasizes collaboration and steady progress, helping people build skills to manage life changes and improve everyday functioning.

How evidence-based techniques fit into online care

Tarisha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood; this involves identifying unhelpful patterns and trying new actions in daily life. Another approach emphasizes emotion regulation and problem-solving for mood disorders and anger, teaching steps to notice feelings, pause, and choose responses that work better.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that match your goals, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize over time.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule and to keep continuity during life transitions. It can also reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations while coordinating times across time zones.
