About Tanika
Tanika Black is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She brings 14 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical help for everyday problems. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them.
She often works with people facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress. She also supports those dealing with anger, ADHD, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Adoption and foster care appear among her additional focus areas, and she can help people coping with challenges tied to those experiences.
Tanika emphasizes straightforward conversation and goal-oriented work. She helps clients break big problems into manageable steps and practices skills that can be used outside sessions. Meetings are collaborative, with attention to each person’s pace and priorities.
Her background includes practice across diverse communities and with people of varied sexual orientations and cultural backgrounds. She frames treatment around what the person needs, not a one-size-fits-all method. The LPC credential stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and signals her role as a licensed counselor.
People often come for help with grief, parenting strain, work stress, or trauma and abuse. Tanika focuses on coping skills, rebuilding routines, and improving communication. She encourages clear next steps so clients leave sessions with practical actions to try before the next meeting.
How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy
Tanika draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem-solving. One common approach helps people learn coping strategies for anxiety and panic by practicing breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. Another approach emphasizes mood regulation and behavioral activation by rebuilding routines, tracking activity, and gradually increasing pleasant or meaningful tasks to lift mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will talk through symptoms, goals, and preferences and then choose methods together. That collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques, adjust what isn't working, and set clear homework between sessions.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, skip travel time, and check in from a familiar setting. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or avoid camera use if that helps someone focus. Ask about scheduling and session length when you complete the matching questionnaire so logistics match your needs.
