01About Tanika
Tanika Black is a licensed professional counselor with 14 years of experience who practices in Louisiana. She offers calm, practical support for people facing anxiety, depression, anger, and major life changes. Her approach is straightforward and centered on helping people feel heard and understood.
She helps with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and seasonal affective disorder, and with conditions like panic attacks, phobias, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, stress, and caregiving pressure.
Background and approach
Issues related to identity, intimacy, and relationship strain are common topics in her work. Tanika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and develop coping skills. Sessions focus on breaking problems into manageable steps, building emotional awareness, and practicing new behaviors between meetings.
She aims to make therapy practical and immediately useful for daily life. People who have experienced adoption, foster care, domestic violence, or discrimination can find a respectful space to talk about those histories. She also addresses parenting concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation.
Her experience includes supporting those facing guilt, shame, and compassion fatigue. Tanika holds the LPC credential, which is licensed in Louisiana and Texas. She conducts sessions in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Approaches that guide online sessions and how they help
Tanika draws on evidence-based approaches that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common technique she uses helps people learn to recognize and label thoughts and feelings, then try small behavior changes to test new responses. This approach is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood regulation issues.Another frequent focus is structured skill-building to manage stress, anger, and impulsivity. Sessions teach step-by-step strategies for coping during intense moments, improving sleep and routines, and reducing compulsive behaviors. These skills are easy to practice between sessions and can improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, needs, and preferences with each person and adjust methods as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques fit best and how to use them in real life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when interaction matters, phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing written work. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity between sessions.
