More about LaVina

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for many years and have worked in a variety of settings. I especially enjoy working with life transitions, women, spirituality issues, grief and loss, and cultural complexities, as well as anxiety and depression concerns.

My counseling style is warm, patient, and accepting. I am a good listener and enjoy the interactive nature of the counseling relationship. My life experience as well as my training informs my treatment approach which is primarily cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic. I can provide an emotionally safe place for you to work with what you bring to the conversation and will honor your uniqueness.

I am aware of the courage it takes to pursue greater fulfillment and happiness and admire your willingness to reach out. Small changes can make a difference, if you are ready to grow I can provide support and help for you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I love working with LaVina! She's the first therapist that I've connected with that gives me such useful information and insight. In the past, I always felt like I was doing all the talking and never got anything out of my previous therapists. I am SO grateful to have been matched with her! Therapy isn't easy, but nothing in life is ever easy. You need to make the commitment to yourself to do the hard work, and LaVina makes the hard work feel easy. Highly recommend!

LaVina Weaver has been amazingly helpful and our journey together has really just begun. She has already made such a positive impact on my own mental well-being. I can trust her to be kind and understanding and open with me about anything I need to talk about. I cant thank her enough.

LaVina has been great to work with. You can tell she truly cares when we are talking and always has great constructive responses. I am truly enjoying working with her and am excited to continue. She has helped bring a calmness within myself in a time I would not normally be able to.

Reviewed September 2021

LaVina has been a wonderful counselor for me. I have had over 10 different counselors and therapists throughout my 27 years of life and from only 1 video chat and a number of messages, LaVina is in my top 2. She explains concepts thoroughly yet simply, which I appreciate tremendously since I tend to question why certain things are done/recommended, and she is very considerate, personable, poignant, and easy to open to. I'm sad I won't be able to continue my sessions with her due to unforeseen financial troubles but I hope to reconnect with her once I'm more financially stable.

Reviewed September 2021

I really appreciate how LaVina works to provide me with goals and actions to take at the end of our sessions. She's able to get to the core of the issues, and asks questions that prompt me to think differently and better understand myself. I'm truly grateful for her help at this time.
