About Tashica
Tashica Halyard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with eight years of clinical experience based in Maryland. She focuses on everyday problems people bring from home, including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief, and parenting concerns. She also addresses issues tied to identity and family dynamics such as LGBT concerns, attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, and fatherhood issues.
In sessions she keeps things practical and direct. She listens for the patterns that cause repeated conflict or distress. Together with the person she maps small, achievable steps to reduce stress and improve communication at home. Conversations can cover coping skills for anxiety, ways to handle anger and addiction, and strategies for better sleep and daily routines.
Tashica uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also draws on client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to improve how people relate to others and process painful experiences such as trauma or loss.
She is licensed in Maryland and holds LPC credentials in Texas and Michigan as well. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match the values a person wants to live by. It can help with anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and some addiction-related behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict. These tools are useful when anger, relationship problems, or emotional overwhelm are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and daily realities and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative decision and may shift as needs change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about session length and technical needs when you schedule to match therapy to your routine.
