Remote care and therapeutic methods
Tanisha Crawford offers remote sessions that combine client-centered listening with structured strategies. In client-centered work she prioritizes the individual's perspective, helping people articulate their goals and draw on personal strengths. This approach is useful for those who want a collaborative, exploratory process where the therapist follows the client's lead while providing supportive feedback.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are used to address specific thoughts, behaviors, and readiness for change. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to manage them. Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh ambivalence and strengthen motivation when facing difficult changes. These methods pair well for individuals seeking practical tools and an empowering, goal-oriented partnership.
Remote sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexible formats for conversation and skill practice. Crawford works alongside each person to determine which method and communication channel best match their needs and preferences.
