About Tarsha
LMHC in Florida with 18 years of experience, Tarsha Banks focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns using client-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. She presents practical options and works collaboratively to find approaches that fit each person.
Tarsha Banks explains therapy in straightforward terms. Sessions look at current problems and what a person wants to change. She uses conversations, skill practice, and short-term goal-setting. The work can address mood, behavior, communication, and everyday coping.
Her background includes individual, group, and family counseling across community and institutional settings. She has completed assessments such as crisis evaluations, suicidal risk checks, substance use screening, and basic cognitive status exams. That experience informs how she evaluates safety and immediate needs.
Banks has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, anger, self-harm concerns, and mood disorders. She has worked with people who have intellectual disability and with parents of school-aged children. She also helps with career stress, workplace issues, and problems that affect young adults.
In sessions she draws on Motivational Interviewing to clarify goals and increase readiness for change. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine thoughts and behaviors, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, short-term steps. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and Tarsha does not accept international clients.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach prioritize clear, empathetic conversation and identifying what the client wants to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In virtual sessions CBT usually involves reviewing situations, practicing new skills, and assigning short exercises between meetings to build different habits.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attentional skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Online meetings can include guided breathing or brief exercises to practice noticing thoughts and sensations in the moment.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time.
Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they pursue their goals.
