About
Tanika Sharpe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia with three years of experience providing therapy and case management across inpatient psychiatric, substance use, and community-based settings. She supports individuals managing severe mental illness, co-occurring disorders, and a range of life stressors, and brings a strong emphasis on thorough assessment, individualized treatment planning, and collaborative clinical care.
Her therapeutic work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps clients spot unhelpful thought patterns, build effective coping skills, and make meaningful changes over time. She aims to offer a culturally responsive and supportive environment where clients feel understood and empowered to participate actively in their healing.
Outside of her clinical practice, Tanika is a marathon runner. The discipline of distance running informs her approach to therapy - highlighting the value of consistency, patience, and resilience. She often encourages clients to view therapy as a step-by-step process rather than a quick fix, celebrating progress one step at a time.

Could Remote Sessions Be a Good Fit?
Many people wonder if online therapy can really make a difference. For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.One of the primary advantages is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the way that feels most comfortable - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals deliver care through these remote options, and if a different therapeutic fit is needed, clients can switch providers at any time.
