Tanisha Golub, LCSW

Tanisha Golub is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage worry, low mood, and big life changes. She focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions to feel steadier day to day. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She brings seven years of clinical experience working in California. Sessions center on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. Mindfulness practices are added to help with overwhelming feelings and to build tolerance for distress. Many clients come for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or help during transitions like separation or divorce. She also helps people who struggle with self-esteem, social anxiety, panic attacks, loneliness, and questions about sexuality or life purpose. Communication difficulties and feelings of guilt or shame are common topics they address together. In session, the work is goal-focused and paced to the individual. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to clarify values, set manageable goals, and track progress. Short exercises and concrete homework are often offered between meetings to reinforce new habits. Tanisha aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can try new ways of coping. She helps clients build self-compassion and practical strategies for daily life. If someone is looking for clear tools and steady support during a hard season, her approach is direct and empathetic.

Practical approaches for online therapy and change

Tanisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts that fuel anxiety and low mood, then test those thoughts with small experiments. CBT is often used for panic attacks, social anxiety, and depression because it focuses on changing patterns that keep problems going.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to build awareness of sensations and emotions without getting swept away by them. Mindfulness skills help when stress feels overwhelming and when someone needs techniques to come back to the present moment.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to goals and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is seen. Clients and the therapist set clear, achievable steps and review what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and exercises, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low, and messaging or chat supports brief check-ins and ongoing reinforcement between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, or school commitments.
