Background and approach
Sessions involve talking through what’s happening now and trying tools that fit real life. LaShana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior in ways that reduce distress. She also brings Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process painful experiences at a manageable pace.
Existential Therapy helps when clients are wrestling with meaning, values, or big life choices. Over her career she has supported people facing codependency, commitment issues, impulsivity, midlife shifts, mood concerns, multicultural stressors, and post-traumatic stress. She also works with issues around self-love, women’s concerns, and young adult transitions.
Her approach blends evidence-based tools with attention to each person’s life story. People who reach out can expect a calm, matter-of-fact tone and a focus on tools that fit their day-to-day routine. LaShana encourages gentle progress and honest conversation while helping clients set achievable goals for change.
Approaches for Workable Change Online
LaShana often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people test painful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, or patterns that keep problems going.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process upsetting events in a way that feels manageable. This approach is paced to fit the person's tolerance and aims to reduce the hold of past hurts on daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most, review goals, and try the methods that best fit each person’s needs and preferences. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video works well for fuller conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth or mobility is limited. Live chat and messaging allow short check-ins and ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These formats make therapy flexible and easier to fit into work, school, or parenting routines.
