Meeting LaShica has been a true blessing in my life. She's a very skilled therapist, very smart and truly wise, she's also funny in the best ways that make our sessions even more enjoyable and help me see beyond my thoughts and feelings. Interacting with LaShica makes me feel deeply understood and truly supported, it's such a precious human connection for which I'm deeply grateful. Even though I'm an open book to meeting new people, I have never met a person who is capable to cope with me and guide me through life in a wise, healthy way, with infinite patience and true kindness as LaShica has been succeeding to do in the moments when I struggled the most and lost myself in my sorrows and fears. It is a true blessing to have LaShica in my life and I'm wholeheartedly grateful for her presence. The world would be a better place to live in for all of us if more humans would be like LaShica -- it seriously would be a much better place for everyone on Earth.

Hi, I'm LaShica and I'm very excited that you are reaching out to take time for yourself. Counseling is a great form of personal care.

I would like to tell you a little about myself. I currently live in Charlotte, NC but I'm originally from Marion, SC. I am married with 2 kids. I love lifting weights, playing softball, and running. I have over 10 years of experience in counseling adults with mental illness, developmental disabilities and substance abuse problems. I have experience working with young adults in transitional housing providing therapeutic individual and group counseling. I have worked with families providing individual and family counseling in the clinical and home setting.

My approach to therapy comes from an eclectic base with a strong focus on cognitive-behavioral and person centered therapy. I believe that a person should be able to make choices about their future and should be given all available resources to make that informed choice.

I look forward to working with you in the future.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Reviewed July 2019

I've just had my first session with LaShica and, while I didn't expect it so soon, I got so much perspective and practicality out of our one session. I appreciated that she affirmed boundaries while giving me some "grounding in reality," and that she helped me to see different options within those boundaries. Having had a few sets of face-to-face counseling, I started the session with anxiety about "online counseling." But when it was over I felt peaceful and prepared to take my next step. LaShica's such a good counsellor - direct, but not pushy; down to earth; and insightful. I am so grateful!

Reviewed January 2019

I have been speaking to LaShica for just a couple of weeks but so far so great! I have always been apprehensive about counseling/ therapy and have put it off for many years. Upon our very first conversation, LaShica made me feel very relaxed. The session wasn’t clinical as I had expected, I could relate with her.. she really listened and I was able to be myself. We have a call every week and she checks in on numerous occasions over the week. Again, this has really helped to build rapport and though it’s only been a few weeks - I already feel lighter and things are looking up for me. I would highly recommend!

She is a rare human capable of true support, a sincere, real and sustainable support.

Unfortunately the hardships of life unexpectedly affect me but LaShica keeps reminding me of the best things that I needed to realise when I get lost in the storms. She skillfully grounds me like an anchor in the middle of the ocean during storms.
