About Tashima
Tashima Kinney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience in Missouri. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, ADHD and codependency-related patterns.
Kinney uses practical, person-focused methods to help people clarify what they want and take small steps toward it. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She adapts her style to each person's needs and preferences rather than using one fixed approach.
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. Over the years she has added trainings in trauma-informed care, Mental Health First Aid, and other applied topics that inform her work with complex family and addiction issues.
In therapy she draws on Client-Centered, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused, and Trauma-Focused approaches. That means time is spent listening, noticing patterns, trying short experiments, and addressing past hurt when it continues to cause problems now. Practical tools and brief skill-building are common in sessions.
People often come for help with communication problems, setting limits, codependency patterns, and coping with life changes like separation or blended family challenges. Kinney aims to help clients identify where they feel stuck and find realistic next steps they can try between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. In online sessions this looks like the therapist checking in, mirroring concerns, and helping people name what they want to change. It helps with relationship patterns, self-esteem, and deciding next steps.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple noticing and grounding skills to reduce reactivity. Practiced online, this may include guided breathing, brief body awareness exercises, or short attention practices to manage stress and anxiety between appointments.
She will work with each person to identify which approaches fit best. Figuring out the right mix is collaborative - goals, preferences, and what has helped before guide the plan. Sessions may include brief experiments, homework, or specific coping tools to try between meetings.
The practical benefits of online work are about fitting therapy into daily life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Many people find remote sessions make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let therapy fit around work or caregiving commitments without extra travel.
