About Tashima
Tashima Kinney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 13 years of experience. She works with adults who are juggling family responsibilities and personal challenges. Her main concerns include stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, parenting, and related struggles.
Kinney uses practical approaches so people can make changes that matter at home. She draws on client-centered methods to focus on what matters to each person. She uses solution-focused work to set concrete, short-term goals and mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity and calm the body.
Many people come for help with parenting strain, blended family tensions, or problems that follow separation and divorce. She also addresses communication problems, codependency, infidelity, fatherhood issues, and the effects of substance or process addictions. Everyday problems like anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes are also part of her caseload.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Chicago State University and a Master of Education from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Earlier roles included work with children and families in different settings, which informs how she talks about behavior and family patterns now.
In sessions she keeps the focus practical. People can expect short-term goals, skills to manage stress and cravings, and straightforward conversation about parenting and relationship choices. She accepts international clients and works in English. Before booking, confirm current session options so arrangements match your schedule.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. The therapist follows what matters most to the client and adjusts pace and topics accordingly. This approach helps when a person needs a calm, steady space to talk through family conflict or personal stress.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and ground feelings. These skills are useful for managing anxiety, anger, or the overwhelm that comes with parenting and caregiving demands.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize mindfulness skills, solution-focused steps, trauma-focused tools, or a blend of methods based on needs and progress.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and goal work to suit the time available and the client's daily routine.
