About LaSonda
LaSonda Sylte is a licensed clinical social worker who offers practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and change. She speaks plainly and teams up with clients to set clear goals. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps that fit everyday life.
With 23 years of experience, LaSonda uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered and mindfulness methods.
Background and approach
Those tools are used to reduce overwhelm, manage strong emotions, and build healthier habits. LaSonda has worked in Indiana across many settings and with a wide range of concerns. Her background includes supporting people through trauma, addiction, end-of-life topics, caregiving stress, and major life transitions.
She understands how these challenges can affect sleep, work, and relationships. Her manner is calm, compassionate, and straightforward. She helps people name what matters, find coping strategies that fit, and try new ways of responding to old problems.
Sessions aim to be practical and respectful of each person's pace. People who choose LaSonda can expect a collaborative process. Together they clarify goals, practice skills between meetings, and adjust the plan as life changes.
She works with adults who want honest, steady support as they move forward.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward them even when feelings are hard. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve routines like sleep and eating. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for strong emotions and impulsivity.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. LaSonda will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adapt methods so they fit the client's life. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and change course when needed.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity through life changes.
