About Tanita
Tanita Morris is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in Maryland with 28 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, LGBT issues, and coping with life changes. Her work is aimed at people who feel stuck after shifts in work, relationships, or health and who want practical ways forward.
She keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. Conversations often start with what feels most urgent - mood, overwhelming worry, or relationship friction - and move toward clearer steps to manage day-to-day living. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and identifies simple habits to change those patterns.
Morris draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood disorders and communication problems. She works with people on issues such as forgiveness, control problems, impulsivity, and isolation. Her practice also includes support around sexuality, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and women’s concerns.
Many clients use sessions to sort life purpose questions and make concrete plans after a major change. She also helps caregivers handle stress and people who are dealing with infidelity or trust ruptures in relationships. Discussions focus on practical strategies for coping and clearer ways to communicate.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Maryland. The usual process involves an initial intake, identifying goals, and testing approaches over a few sessions to see what works. Practical tools and behavioral steps are emphasized alongside talk-based reflection.
Approaches used and how online sessions proceed
Many of her methods are described as evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive approaches involve identifying thinking patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and testing alternative ways of thinking to reduce distress and improve daily function. Behavioral techniques focus on small changes in routine and actions to break cycles of avoidance or reactivity and build more predictable results.She also uses practical communication work to address relationship problems. This involves clear, skill-based practice in expressing needs, setting boundaries, and repairing trust after conflicts. These exercises are intended to produce observable changes in how people relate to one another and to reduce repeated misunderstandings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on symptoms, goals, and what the person prefers. That process often involves trying an approach for a few sessions and noting what helps most.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. When available, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter focused check-ins, and remove travel time. Phone sessions can be useful when a lighter, audio-only check-in is preferred, while video sessions can support role-play and visual cues. These practical features help people maintain consistency without promising a specific outcome.
