Tashia Chambers , LICSW, MD, LCSW-C

Tashia Chambers is a thirty-something Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings five years of clinical experience supporting adults and teens through difficult life transitions. She has trained in and uses evidence-based methods, with a strong emphasis on cognitive behavioral therapy, to address concerns such as trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship and family struggles, addiction, and coping with life changes.

Raised on the East Coast and recently spending time on the West Coast, she is licensed to provide therapy to people residing in Maryland and the District of Columbia. She holds clinical social work licenses that authorize her practice in those jurisdictions: LICSW and LCSW-C. LICSW stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and LCSW-C denotes a Licensed Certified Social Worker with a clinical focus. These credentials reflect formal training and supervised clinical experience in mental health care.

Her work often explores attachment and relational patterns that show up across relationships, including issues like abandonment, codependency, control and commitment struggles, and family of origin concerns. She also supports people dealing with first responder issues, compassion fatigue, dissociation, domestic violence, emptiness, guilt and shame, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar disorder. Tashia draws on additional approaches such as attachment-based therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Therapy is framed as a collaborative process for her, informed by the fact that professional help changed her own life after difficult experiences. That personal perspective contributes to a practical, empathetic style aimed at helping people build new ways of living beyond familiar scripts and toward meaningful goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape expectations and emotional responses. It helps people explore patterns of connection, address fears of abandonment, and rebuild trust in relationships through understanding relational needs and responses.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches strategies to shift them. It is effective for conditions like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and many stress-related concerns by promoting clearer thinking and more adaptive coping.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies to help with emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tashia approaches therapy collaboratively, listening to a person’s goals and preferences and adapting methods to fit their needs so they can move toward meaningful change together.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family demands, access care from home, and maintain continuity of support during life transitions.
