About Tashica

Tashica Halyard is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and relationship concerns. She practices in Maryland and brings eight years of clinical experience to conversations about coping, identity, and life transitions. Her style aims to make hard topics easier to talk about so clients can take small steps forward.

Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to share thoughts and feelings. Tashica listens first to understand each person’s story and concerns.

Background and approach

She focuses on what matters most to the client and works at a practical pace that fits their life. Her approach draws on Narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to build values-based action and self-acceptance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when clients want concrete skills for mood and anxiety management. Tashica has experience supporting people with LGBT issues, family conflict, parenting strain, and substance concerns. She also helps clients facing trauma, attachment wounds, compassion fatigue, and workplace stress.

That range allows her to tailor sessions to a person’s priorities rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions can focus on coping skills, improving communication, setting boundaries, or exploring identity and life goals. Her aim is practical growth: clearer choices, steadier emotions, and better day-to-day functioning.

The work is collaborative and paced to what each client feels ready to try.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Tashica directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Many clients find Narrative therapy helpful because it looks at the stories people carry about themselves. In short sessions this approach helps people separate themselves from problems and rewrite unhelpful narratives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and action. It teaches practical ways to notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters. Client-Centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy to help people feel heard and clearer about their own goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tashica will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend one or a mix of methods. This is a collaborative process where the client’s feedback shapes what is tried next.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are suited for deeper conversations and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter, on-the-go option fits a busy schedule.
