About Tashica
Tashica Halyard is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and LGBTQ-related issues. She works with people dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, and changes that feel overwhelming. Her approach centers on listening first, then helping each person set small, practical steps toward feeling better.
In sessions she creates a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can talk about painful feelings and difficult decisions. Conversations focus on what matters to the client and on skills that can be used between appointments. Tashica draws on methods that emphasize values, coping skills, and increased emotional awareness.
She holds both LPC and LCPC credentials and has eight years of professional experience. Her practice supports people coping with trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue as well as challenges like sleep disruption, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. She also helps with family-of-origin concerns, blended family issues, and caregiving strain.
Therapy sessions often include practical exercises and straightforward strategies, such as skills practice and goal-setting. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes. Tashica aims to empower clients to make choices that reflect their values and priorities.
People interested in beginning work with her can expect a collaborative style that balances empathy with direction. She accepts international clients and holds licensure in Maryland and other states, and she speaks English for all sessions.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them, helping when life feels stuck or overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into smaller parts and teaches practical strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, or mood shifts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions in relationships and strengthening emotional connection and responsiveness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. The therapist will talk with you about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then tailor a plan together. That collaborative process helps shape which techniques are used and how sessions are paced.
Confirm current online session options when you book, since the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They can also let people use different tools during sessions, like worksheets or in-the-moment skills practice, so the work can connect directly with everyday life.
