About Tashica
Tashica Halyard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with eight years of clinical experience in Maryland. She focuses on common problems like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addictions. She also works with people facing ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, and career stress.
Halyard uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered approaches. In sessions she helps people notice strong emotions and the patterns those feelings create in relationships and daily life. She encourages straightforward conversation about what feels stuck and what small changes might help.
Her practice also addresses issues tied to family and attachment, such as abandonment, blended family struggles, fatherhood questions, family of origin problems, and communication breakdowns. She works with people dealing with substance use and codependency, and with those recovering from trauma and abuse.
Sessions pay attention to practical skills and to understanding emotional reactions. Halyard aims to help people name difficult feelings, try different ways of coping, and test new behaviors that fit their goals. She uses clear explanations and simple exercises during visits.
People can expect a direct, conversational style that focuses on present concerns and workable steps. Halyard accepts international clients and conducts work in English. For first steps she asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How EFT and practical therapies translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognize and name emotions that shape how they respond to others. Online work can support that by guiding conversations about what happens in real interactions and helping people practice new ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking small actions toward a chosen life. In tele-sessions ACT exercises and brief behavioral experiments can be discussed and planned for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into manageable steps, often using short skills practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is made together and may change as therapy progresses.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule regular sessions, fit counseling into a workday, avoid travel time, and choose a quieter setting for focused conversations. It also allows practical exercises and skill practice to be reviewed immediately with the therapist, making it easier to try changes between sessions.
