About LaShonda
Her clinical style blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with person-centered and solution-focused elements, adapting interventions to fit the distinct needs of each individual. Dr. Smith emphasizes collaboration - she partners with clients to identify practical strategies and realistic goals rather than imposing a single method that must fit everyone.
Dr. Smith is committed to expanding access to mental health care, especially for people who have been reluctant to seek support or who have lacked available resources. She acknowledges that change can feel daunting and encourages clients to recognize the courage it takes to begin. Throughout the therapeutic process she offers steady support as clients work toward greater well-being and a more fulfilling sense of self.
She looks forward to supporting those ready to take that first step toward change.
Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's perspective, offering empathic listening and support so clients can explore values, self-worth, and personal goals at their own pace. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, clarifying life purpose, and addressing relational issues. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and short-term strategies to resolve specific problems and move toward desired outcomes, which can be useful when clients want targeted change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Smith collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Therapy is a partnership focused on what will be most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can access care around work, family, and other commitments. These formats make it easier to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from home or elsewhere, improving convenience and consistency in care.
