More about Tainesha
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist licensed in New Jersey with over 7 years of experience working as a Psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, teen issues and couple/relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. It's Your Time .
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

My therapist is the best considering she's the only therapist I ever had but she listens and respond very precise on ever topic bother or worry that I have within myself she helped me unlock things inside of me that I would've never knew or wanted to know about myself not to feel bad but just to get down to the root of myself she's a very remarkable person and I would recommend her to all that ever seeks therapy cause for my haste to be in therapy she made it pleasant ,welcoming and very inviting
Tainesha is a very good therapist! She is knowledgeable and knows how to direct a conversation so the patient can draw out the consequences themselves. She is very respectful and moves at a pace that is comfortable with the patient. Highly recommend!!
I highly recommend Tainesha!! She cares about you and really wants to help.
Tainesha is on point with listening to one's history and making critical connections to formulate a therapy targeted to the root of one's struggles.
