About LaShayla
Dr. LaShayla Dyer offers straightforward, steady support for people facing relationship strain, anxiety, mood struggles, grief, and challenges with self-esteem. She works with adults who are trying to sort through life changes, parenting stress, caregiving duties, and issues tied to attachment and family history.
Dr. Dyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, based in Georgia and brings 11 years of clinical experience to her practice. Her style is warm and practical.
Background and approach
She helps people name what feels most urgent and then tries approaches that fit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on real-life strategies for managing stress, improving communication, and rebuilding confidence. She encourages small, achievable steps so progress feels possible.
Dr. Dyer draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral work to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and emotionally focused techniques to improve connection. She also uses relationship-focused tools like the Gottman Method for communication and intimacy concerns.
These tools are adapted to each person’s situation rather than applied the same way for everyone. Her background includes a Georgia LCSW license and additional social work credentials listed as CSW. She has focused work in areas like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, blended family issues, fertility and parenting challenges, and trauma and abuse.
People who choose her can expect practical conversation, a respectful listening stance, and collaboration on goals. She supports English-speaking clients and accepts international clients for online formats.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It’s useful for anxiety, low mood, and situations where people feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting; it is practical for stress, depression, and sleep or sleep-related worries. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on feelings and connection, helping people improve communication and closeness in their relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Together you can adjust the focus over time depending on what helps most and what feels comfortable for you.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face when you want real-time conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and keep momentum between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people continue care from different locations.
