About Tanika
Tanika Black is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 14 years of experience. She focuses on anxiety, mood concerns, and everyday challenges that make life feel overwhelming. Tanika speaks English and aims to make the first step toward help feel manageable.
Tanika helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, stress, and the ups and downs of life changes. She also supports those facing ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and issues around identity and relationships.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how these concerns affect daily routines and relationships. In sessions she creates a calm space for people to talk through feelings and reactions. Her approach is practical and straightforward.
She works to build trust and to help clients try small, useful changes between sessions. Tanika has worked for well over a decade with people from a range of backgrounds and life situations. That experience includes addressing mood disorders, panic and phobias, postpartum depression, and stress related to caregiving and adoption or foster care.
She brings that history into planning treatment that fits each person. Her work centers on clear goals and steady progress. Tanika helps people notice patterns, practice new skills, and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life.
She supports clients as they test changes and adjust plans when needed.
Evidence-based approaches and online access
Tanika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and then practice different ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasizes learning coping skills for stress, anger, and panic so clients can manage difficult moments and return to daily tasks more easily.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what needs another try.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for quick check-ins or shorter updates between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules.
