About Tanika
Tanika Black is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She brings 14 years of experience helping people navigate anger, anxiety, mood challenges, and life transitions. Tanika aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She helps people talk through depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, stress, and issues around identity and relationships. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope with day-to-day struggles and to reduce overwhelming emotions.
Background and approach
Tanika also works with concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, sleep and eating issues, parenting stress, and career pressure. She pays attention to how life events like adoption, caregiving, or discrimination affect mood and behavior. She helps people name what feels stuck and find small, useful changes to try.
In sessions she listens without judgment and encourages honest conversation. She supports clients through panic attacks, phobias, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue using clear, doable strategies. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Tanika draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment. She partners with each person to set goals that fit their life and schedule. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort level.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Tanika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood and anxiety. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and impulsive reactions, which can be helpful for anger, addiction, and stress-related problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tanika will ask about your goals, symptoms, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. She collaborates with clients to try methods that fit their needs and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth situations, and chat or messaging works well for brief updates or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity between sessions.
