Lavon is the best! She cares so much! Our time together was very helpful to me and I loved how she helped me begin to see things a different, more positive way. The worksheets she sent me were also very helpful. It was wonderful having someone in my corner!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oklahoma. I have 6 years of clinical experience demonstrating a strong commitment to serving children, adolescents, adults, and families in mental health and educational settings by assisting clients with navigating mental health, medical, educational, and social settings to proactively address their plans of care to improve their overall health and well being. My experience includes working with clients with ADHD, anger, anxiety, attachment disorders, bi-polar disorder, depression, emotion regulation, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and family conflict.
My passion is working with children, adolescents, adults and families to help them overcome obstacles that interfere with their mental health and fulfilling their goals in life. I have worked in the helping profession for over 40 years as a licensed child care provider, licensed therapeutic foster parent for teen female youth, paraprofessional working with children with special needs and mental health aide working with adults with special needs. I have worked in the mental health field as a licensed master social worker and licensed clinical social worker for the past 6 years and continue to do so specializing in working with children, adolescents, adults and families. I have had the privilege of working in the helping profession my entire career which gives me insight to helping others with mental health and life challenges. My education includes an Associate of General Studies specializing in Early Childhood Education, a Bachelor of Science in Social Work, and a Master of Science in Social Work.
I utilize the PIE (Person-In-Environment) approach to focus on what is most important to the client while incorporating evidence based practices. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy and Motivation Interviewing as clinical approaches to best serve clients. You are the expert in knowing what you need and I am here to help you identify and process areas in your life that you want to change. It takes courage and strength to take the first step towards change and the life you envision for yourself and I am here to help you succeed. I am looking forward to meeting you and building a strong compassionate working relationship to help you reach your goals and be successful in all that life has to offer you.

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.
