About LaJuana
LaJuana Walker-McGill helps people who are feeling angry, stuck, or low on confidence find clearer ways forward. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 24 years of experience. Her approach begins by listening and learning what matters most to each person she meets.
She centers sessions on the client’s own story and strengths. People are treated as the expert on their life while she offers guidance and tools. That mix helps with relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Practical skills often come from cognitive behavioral ideas. Those tools help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change how someone feels and behaves. Client-centered work focuses on understanding, respect, and building on a person’s existing abilities.
Forgiveness and self-love are part of her focus when those themes come up. Sessions aim to create more self-compassion and clearer boundaries, not quick fixes. The work is paced to each person’s needs and comfort level.
LaJuana practices in Missouri and offers several online formats. She supports people ready to take steps toward feeling better and more confident, guiding them through practical strategies and steady encouragement.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what the person brings to the session. It emphasizes empathy, respect, and building on strengths to help people feel heard and understood. This approach is useful when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior. It often involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments to see if new responses help reduce anger, sadness, or anxiety. CBT works well for problems like low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you’ll try methods and adjust the plan based on what actually helps you make progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to schedule regular work around busy days and to maintain momentum between sessions.
