About Tahaji

Tahaji Smith, LCSW, offers support for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addiction concerns, relationship strain, trauma, and life changes. She describes therapy as a practical place to talk through feelings, build new coping skills, and find steadier footing. Tahaji writes simply and directly, so sessions focus on clear steps rather than jargon.

She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions and connection shape reactions. Tahaji also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be conversational, with an emphasis on what feels useful day to day. Tahaji trained as a Master of Social Work and holds a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. Before social work, she spent many years in public service as a 911 call taker and dispatcher, which shaped her calm, practical approach.

She brings that experience to sessions by staying steady when stress feels high. Therapy with Tahaji often includes learning simple skills to manage anxiety, addressing habits that keep people stuck, and talking through relationship and intimacy-related worries. She also supports those facing caregiver stress, codependency, body image concerns, and issues related to addiction and recovery.

Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works with the therapist's calendar.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions and bonding shape reactions and relationship patterns. In an online session it helps name feelings and practice new ways of responding to attachment wounds and intimacy-related concerns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck and pick actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with life changes by focusing on small, values-driven steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and habits related to substance use or impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a team process that may shift over time as progress and priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to consistent care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging lets clients send brief updates or work between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping therapy practical and focused.
