About LaShaunn
With six years in the current role and a long career in social work and university teaching before that, she draws on varied experience when supporting clients. She emphasizes a team approach in sessions - assessing the situation together, setting realistic goals, and building steps to reach them. Sessions mix discussion with concrete strategies clients can use between meetings.
LaShaunn uses evidence-informed tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness exercises, narrative work, client-centered listening, and solution-focused strategies. She explains ideas plainly and helps clients practice new ways of thinking and acting. This can help with difficult emotions, unhelpful patterns, and challenges at home or work.
She also addresses trauma, addiction concerns, codependency, family-of-origin issues, blended family stress, caregiver fatigue, and communication problems. Her aim is to help people regain a sense of direction and stronger relationships through steady, collaborative work.
If you decide to start, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedules a first session based on availability. LaShaunn uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches to Online Work and How They Help
LaShaunn often uses client-centered therapy to build a trusting working relationship where the client's concerns guide each session. This approach focuses on listening, understanding the client's experience, and helping them define what matters most to them.She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and functioning. CBT offers practical exercises and skill-building that can help with anxiety, stress, and problem-solving during life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can change as progress is made or as new priorities appear.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up work between meetings. It can also let people try shorter check-ins or schedule sessions around work or caregiving demands without needing extra commute time.
