About Tashima
Tashima Kinney is a Licensed Professional Counselor who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She greets clients with a calm, practical approach and focuses on helping them move toward clearer goals. She uses client-centered principles to listen first and then build plans that fit each person’s life.
Tashima draws on 13 years of professional counseling experience and prior roles working with children, families, and adults. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Education. Over the years she has completed trainings such as Mental Health First Aid and trauma-informed care that inform day-to-day work in session.
In practice she blends client-centered listening with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions often emphasize understanding what matters to the client, noticing patterns in the moment, and trying small, practical changes between meetings. When trauma or painful events come up, she uses trauma-focused ideas to keep the work grounded and paced to the person’s needs.
Tashima helps with common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or family difficulties. She also supports people facing addictions, intimacy concerns, parenting strains, ADHD, and multicultural issues. Additional areas of focus include communication problems, blended family challenges, codependency, and process addictions.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She invites clients to set goals, test small steps, and reflect on what works. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist’s availability.
How client-centered and online approaches work together
Tashima uses client-centered therapy online by starting with careful listening and following the client's priorities. This approach focuses on the person’s experience and helps shape goals that feel meaningful and doable. It often works well for stress, low mood, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges.She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without judgment. Mindfulness techniques can reduce reactivity and help with anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes. Solution-focused therapy is another common option focused on small, practical changes and clear short-term goals to improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest what to try first. Together they adjust methods over time based on what helps most.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let a person choose a quieter time of day or avoid being on camera when that feels better. Licensed professionals tailor the pace and tools to each person's situation.
