About Tarisha

Tarisha McCullen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on practical therapy for everyday problems. She offers steady support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Tarisha aims to help people feel more in control and more connected to their lives.

She draws on eight years of experience as a psychotherapist in North Carolina. That background includes work with mood disorders, ADHD, postpartum depression, and trauma-related concerns such as post-traumatic stress.

Background and approach

She also helps people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, eating concerns, and intimacy-related issues. In sessions she listens without judgment and treats people with respect. She meets clients where they are and adjusts her approach to fit each person’s needs.

Conversations focus on concrete steps a person can take between sessions to feel better and manage symptoms. Tarisha has supported people through family problems, communication struggles, and life transitions. She also has experience with veteran and armed forces issues, trichotillomania, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at real changes rather than labels. Her work is practical: understanding what’s happening now, naming patterns, and trying small, manageable changes. People who want clear guidance, empathy, and problem-focused work often find this approach helpful.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Tarisha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses helps people recognize unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding to stress and anxiety. This method is useful for panic, low mood, and everyday worry.

She also works with strategies that target mood regulation and behavior patterns, which can help with bipolar symptoms, disruptive mood challenges, anger, and problems with self-control. These strategies teach concrete skills for managing big emotions and handling difficult situations more calmly.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review current struggles, goals, and preferences, then adjust methods over time. Tarisha helps people test what works and changes course when something doesn’t fit.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, daily support, or times when writing out thoughts feels better. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family life.
