About Tanika
Tanika Black is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical ways to manage strong emotions and life changes. She brings 14 years of experience and aims to make talking about difficult feelings easier for people who are struggling. Her approach is straightforward and supportive, with an emphasis on understanding what is happening now and building useful coping steps.
She has worked across Louisiana and Texas and supports people dealing with anger, anxiety, mood disorders, and depression.
Background and approach
She also helps with ADHD, stress, substance concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges around intimacy and identity. Sessions center on identifying patterns that lead to distress and testing small changes that reduce symptoms over time. Treatment is collaborative and practical.
The therapist listens first, then offers strategies clients can try between sessions. This can include skills for managing impulses, techniques to calm intense moods, and ways to handle conflict without escalating. Tanika also addresses related issues such as caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, domestic violence effects, shame and guilt, and isolation.
She works with people from diverse backgrounds and sexual orientations and tries to create a nonjudgmental space for honest conversation. People who choose her often want hands-on tools and clear steps they can follow. She supports clients while they learn new responses to anger, improve sleep and eating patterns, or regain steadiness during major life changes.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Tanika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage strong emotions and impulsive reactions, teaching step-by-step ways to reduce anger and calm the body. Another approach emphasizes mood regulation and behavioral changes to address depression and bipolar symptoms, using small, testable adjustments in daily routines and thinking patterns.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist starts by listening to what matters most to the client, then suggests one or two strategies to try. Together they review what helps and adapt the plan based on real results and client preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people speak face-to-face when talking through intense feelings matters most. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging works for brief updates, tracking progress, or getting coping ideas between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving routines.
