More about LaShawn

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Well Hello! Thank you for visiting me today!!!

I have over 20 years of experience in my field. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered, Compassion Focused, Strength-Based, Christian Counseling, and Trauma Focused. I like to use tools such as music, video, art, writing, and activity sheets during sessions. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I generally work with people that are having issues with,

*Depression

*Anxiety

*Stress

*Anger Management

*Self Esteem

*Communication

*Trauma & PTSD

*Sexual Abuse

*Domestic Violence

*Grief & Loss

*Life Transitions

*Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum

*Coping Skills

*Parenting

*Family Conflict

*Behavioral Issues

I am here for you! Most clients I work with say I am personable and easy to talk to. It has often been said my witty and compassionate nature is helpful when working through difficult situations. Individuals have said working with me is more like talking to a friend than a therapist. Simply put I am all about guiding individuals through a journey that promotes HOPE, HELP, and HEALING.

Everyone needs a place where they can feel safe. A place where they can be free to just be themselves. When talking with me you can be assured you have entered a NO JUDGEMENT ZONE.

About online counseling

Affordable.

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, 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.

Working with LaShawn has been great! After only two sessions I was able to take on a new perspective that has renewed my confidence. She sat with me in my sadness and anger. Having someone validate and acknowledge what I was experiencing as hurtful helped me to change course. Sometimes that’s all you need to move forward!

Reviewed May 2023

I am coming up on a year with LaShawn, and I appreciate her so much. She rolls with however I'm feeling. Sometimes we stick to the work we are trying to complete and some days are "park bench" days, where I need the session to discuss what's bothering me in the moment. I wish I had started therapy sooner to be honest, but then I probably wouldn't have met LaShawn. :)

LaShawn seems to understand me without judgement. We've only had a couple sessions, but I do believe I can overcome some of my problems with her help.

LaShawn is an incredible therapist. While my initial reach out was due to multiple grief experiences, I hope to continue working with LaShawn to seek support in areas of life beyond grief. She is patient, kind, and prompt, and she captures significant highlights from my sessions. She is great at consistently checking in outside of sessions, and when we have sessions she is present. So thankful for her!

LaShawn Myers is exactly the therapist I needed. She is kind, respectful, open hearted, and communicates gently yet powerfully. She doesnt give canned responses, doesn’t hide per personality (which makes it easier to open up to her) and she shows up completely to our sessions. I feel fully heard and understood. I'm so grateful to have been matched with her. She is exactly who I needed!

Reviewed April 2023

It took me years to even try therapy due to the fear that the therapist would make me feel uncomfortable or that I would not be able to share things. I am very grateful that the first person I was matched with was her. She is just herself, which makes it ok to be yourself. I don't feel uncomfortable at all. I am enjoying my sessions, they make me think and talk more, and I am looking forward to more with her!

LaShawn was able to help me through a difficult time this year when I was experiencing a difficult transition through my break-up. She helped me recognize unhealthy boundaries, and her words echo in my head as I build my own strength and independence as an individual.

I am looking forward to working with her again in the future when I may need outside perspective through other personal issues that may arise as I continue through my journey.

I haven't done therapy too often and my past experiences have been less than impactful. So much so that I just thought that it wasn't for me, and I could just press on without really addressing my mental health. LaShawn has changed my perspective on that greatly just in the few sessions we've had. Ignoring mental health can be detrimental, but an impactful therapist can be all the difference in finding meaning solutions to mental ailments.
