About Tarisha

Tarisha McCullen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people regain balance when life feels overwhelming. She brings eight years of psychotherapy experience and a calm, nonjudgmental approach to sessions.

She aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and mood difficulties so they can enjoy everyday moments again. Tarisha also supports those coping with ADHD, postpartum depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She mentions experience with trichotillomania, disruptive mood dysregulation, and trauma-related symptoms.

Tarisha uses flexible, person-centered care. She meets people where they are and adapts methods to each situation. In practical terms this means talking through current problems, building coping skills, and practicing small changes that add up over time.

Her background includes work with a wide range of mental health concerns across individual therapy settings. She draws on eight years treating mood disorders, anger management, communication problems, and issues that affect young adults and women. Tarisha notes experience related to veteran and armed forces issues and caregiver or adoption-related stress.

Her goal is straightforward: help people reduce what gets in the way of living and loving their life. She encourages clients to set clear goals and to learn strategies they can use outside sessions. Tarisha is based in North Carolina and conducts therapy in English.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Tarisha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach she relies on focuses on building coping skills and mood regulation strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and bipolar symptoms; this involves practical exercises and rehearsing new ways to respond to strong feelings. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care for PTSD and post-traumatic stress, which centers on stabilizing symptoms, improving safety, and slowly processing difficult memories at a manageable pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions evolve over time as progress is made and priorities change.

Online therapy can make fitting sessions into busy lives easier. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find remote sessions help reduce travel time, allow sessions during a workday break, or make it simpler to maintain continuity when schedules are unpredictable. Licensed professionals can guide practical skill-building, check progress between meetings, and adjust plans just as they would in person.
