Hi my name is Tasheena, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC and am licensed in both West Virginia and South Carolina. I have a BA in Psychology from the University of Charleston and an MS in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I have experience providing individual and group therapy sessions to at-risk youth and their families within the court and corrections settings regarding substance use, behavioral issues, emotion regulation, relationships, communication, process addictions, and a variety of other issues depending on the client's needs.
I am certified to treat anxiety disorders, body-focused repetitive behaviors, worry, and panic. I have professional experience with anxiety disorders, depression, young adult issues, relationship issues, as well as domestic violence issues. I'm an advocate for healthy relationships, boundaries, and am passionate about self-care, personal and family growth, managing anxiety, and helping others grow in multiple areas of their lives. My therapeutic approach is eclectic but generally utilize solution-focused, CBT, and motivational interviewing. I value having sessions that include establishing rapport in an environment where clients can feel safe to be themselves without fear of judgment.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is very understanding and patient with you, I would recommend her to most anybody
Really encouraging first session :)
Absolutely the best therapist I have ever had, 10/10
She’s very nice and listened to me. I appreciate her help. Never done therapy before and so far it’s good.
Love Tasheena! She has been my rock for years and I have made so much progress with her.
She is an amazing person. Has helped me understand myself more and is always willing to listen. Steer me in the right direction.
Have had a few experiences with therapy but never one this good that motivates me to be a better person
Tasheena has helped me through the most difficult part of my life and I can't imagine being where I am today without stumbling across her and having her as a therapist she is absolutely amazing I look forward to every week chatting with her I just feel better when I'm done she is a lifesaver!
I have had a great experience using the BetterHelp platform, but my therapist Tasheena is the real MVP. She listens, provides a safe space, and helps me get through this thing called life. Would highly recommend!
Very helpful and understanding
she has helped me through the roughest time of my life! she is helping me get my life back!
I love Tasheena. She has been so valuable in my therapy journey and truly cares about me! I am so grateful!
I have had countless therapist in the past. Tasheena is by far the best i’ve ever had. She’s the only one who makes me feel like I’m talking to a friend instead of someone paid to listen to me. She gives great advice and truly seems like she cares. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone.
She continues to be one of the most amazing, smart, helpful, compassionate therapists I’ve ever worked with. Love her.
Tasheena is an absolutely stellar therapist. She takes the time to understand all my issues, asks extremely thought-provoking questions, sends amazing journal prompts, and gives me super useful feedback on whatever I have to discuss that week. I have greatly improved the way I cope with problems and approach situations over the last year or so, and I attribute it largely to her!
Tasheena is relatable and approachable which makes opening up easier. She is also very knowledgeable and professional and provides practical, applicable advice and actions steps to tackle issues/concerns.
Couldn't recommend anyone else. Does a great job of listening and letting you guide the conversation to where it should go. Listens well and provides great insight to problems and helps you develope solutions rather than telling you what to do.
I look forward to my weekly visits with her she does an amazing job of listening she is direct she will call you out if it needs to be done which I appreciate and she has fresh ideas. I am very impressed
Tasheena is such a down-to-earth, positive and reinforcing therapist. I love how real she is with me about my issues and makes me feel comfortable immediately when I sign onto our sessions. I can be 100% myself, which is more than I could ever ask for. I feel accepted in this space ❤️
Tasheena has been a lifesaver, I’ve never been so comfortable and been able to open up and not feel judged. She’s helped me so much, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s an exceptional therapist!
There’s really no adequate words to explain how amazing Tasheena is. She is incredibly good at what she does and she is full of compassion, empathy, understanding, and intelligence. She is encouraging, super accommodating of my crazy schedule, and always has excellent insight and feedback no matter what I throw at her (and it’s a lot). I feel like I’m talking to my best friend, but one who is totally committed to helping me the best version of myself, even when I forget my purpose in my anxiety filled brain. She is amazing. I am SO grateful for her- I can’t say enough great things about her and for this app for bringing her into my life, she is very important to my mental health stability and I really look forward to our sessions each week.
Tasheena is awesome! She prioritizes what I want to talk about and I really feel like she listens to me. She is challenging but supportive and I know that when I leave a session I will feel better and have an idea of what direction I want to go.
Tasheena is an incredible, caring, smart, and honest therapist, among other great qualities. I’ve been speaking to her for about a year now, and she’s helped me grow tremendously in that time — I’m in a happier, healthier place in my life, in large part because of her. Everyone deserves a therapist like Tasheena!
Best therapist ever!
I've felt connected, respected, and heard thorough-out my experience with Tasheena. She's professional and helpful.
Love her
She’s been extremely helpful and seems to really care about my needs
I’ve seen a number of different therapists in my life and I am grateful beyond words that I got connected with Tasheena. My favorite thing about her is that she keeps me accountable and is very action oriented - I leave every session with a plan on what I’m going to do to try to improve my mental health.
I don’t know if it’s luck or just an extremely good job but better help, but I have been perfectly matched with my therapist. She seems to understand the struggles of my profession and I would strongly encourage anyone in my field to talk to her!!
Tasheena was the perfect match for me. She was open and easy to talk to right off the bat; building real rapport from the start helped me gain so many insights through our conversations. She helped me in ways that are difficult to explain, but I feel more confident in myself, more self-assured about my own mind/decisions, and better equipped to deal with moments rife with anxiety. Therapy with Tasheena was an exercise in real growth and self-care; what a gift.
Tasheena goes above and beyond to provide support and stay connected. She is a true gem in the therapy world!
This woman is fantastic, very supportive but critically honest when needed
Very responsive and easy to talk to.
Great listener. Good assignments she recommends me doing.
Tasheena has been a wonderful therapist! She’s helped me to deal with anxiety, set boundaries, and have confidence in myself. I have found her extremely encouraging and relatable. She also gives me tools to cope and goals to work on.
Tasheena has given me a space where I can completely be myself. She lets me talk through my issues while offering input but ultimately, and what I’ve been trying to do on by myself unsuccessfully, let’s me think through a resolve on my own.
Tasheena is one of those people that you meet and are instantly comfortable around. She's everything the other reviews say and more. She's honest, she's genuine, and her immense intellect continues to impress me each week. Without knowing it she saved and forever changed my life. With her help, I am not the same man that I was when I started therapy. I now have a much better grasp on life and relationships and know how to put in the work to continue to become a more healthy person. I hope to one day take these teachings and help others. So Tasheena, you're the best therapist there ever will be and one of the best people I've ever met. You're 1 in 7.9 billion. From the bottom of my heart.. THANK YOU for everything.
She’s the best!
Tasheena is a wonderful therapist. She is very easy to talk to and makes every interaction seem like a friend-friend relationship. She has great insight and expertise but it never has an uncomfortable stereotypical therapist feel in any of the sessions. I look forward to every session with her.
Tasheena has been the best therapist I've ever worked with. She listens to me, helps me understand my emotions and feelings, and validates me as a person. I am so thankful for her communication and her counseling.
Tasheena is fantastic, she listens well and helps provide real solutions to many of life’s problems. Talking to Tasheena feels like you’re talking a friend, who holds you accountable, lifts you up, and provides a whole lot of support.
Tasheena is a God send
Tasheena is amazing. From the first meeting with her I was very comfortable. She listens and helps me work through issues. If I send her a message she responds thoughtfully and quickly. I look forward to my therapy sessions. Previously, I dreaded them with other therapists.
Best therapist, she’s able to relate and understand exactly where my needs are. Cannot recommend her enough.
This woman is fantastic, give her a raise
Tasheena is a perfect therapist. She is a very real human being who will walk through issues with you and won’t always try to come up with an answer but will actually let you know she wants to spend a little more time thinking through next steps while being their for you in the waiting. I appreciate her genuine care for her patients, I’ve never had another therapist like her.
Tasheena has been available, open, and hears me. I am getting a great deal out of these sessions even when it seems like we're just having a conversation. I'm grateful I found BetterHelp and am impressed that such a comfortable, relatable match was made for me on the first try with a therapist I have already come to trust.
She’s a lifesaver!
