About Latasha
Latasha Shannon is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience helping people manage hard moments in life. She holds a Licensed Master Social Worker credential and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Her practice is based in Michigan and she draws on years of experience to support people facing mood, trauma, and addiction concerns.
She works in a direct, compassionate way. Sessions focus on what is actually causing stress and what changes a person can try right away.
Background and approach
Latasha uses clear tools and practical plans rather than jargon. She aims to help clients feel more steady and able to cope between sessions. Clients often bring anxiety, depression, grief, relationship worries, or trouble with substance use.
She also helps with anger, low self-esteem, career strain, and major life transitions. Additional focus areas include issues like abandonment, codependency, and hospice or end-of-life concerns. Her style blends listening with active skill-building.
She draws from approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, emotionally-focused ideas, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Together with each person she chooses techniques that fit their situation. Latasha offers sessions through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
These formats allow people to fit therapy into busy schedules and to check in in ways that feel manageable. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session according to the posted options.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. It involves listening closely, reflecting what matters, and helping people find their own solutions for relationship or life stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change patterns that feed anxiety or depression. Dialectical behavior therapy, known as DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress without acting impulsively.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and struggles, then try methods that match those needs. If something does not fit, she adjusts the plan together with the client until it feels useful.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can be easier when video is difficult or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick updates, ongoing support, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside work, family, and medical appointments.
