LaShaunn Bold , LCSW

LaShaunn Bold, LCSW, helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, parenting strain, and the effects of life changes. She offers calm guidance for those facing addiction, compassion fatigue, self-esteem struggles, or difficulties tied to family and work. LaShaunn practices in Texas and brings a steady, practical presence to sessions.

She describes therapy as a team effort that begins with assessing where someone is now. From there she helps set clear goals and build a plan that fits daily life. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps people can use between meetings to feel more in control.

Her background includes community social work and many years mentoring young adults transitioning from college to work. That experience informs her work with parents, caregivers, and people dealing with family-of-origin issues. She has six years of focused clinical practice listed alongside a long career in social services and teaching.

LaShaunn uses client-centered approaches that prioritize the person’s own goals. She also draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, mindfulness to reduce reactivity, narrative techniques to reframe stories people tell about themselves, and solution-focused methods to build practical skills.

She works with people facing abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, attachment and blended family concerns, divorce and domestic violence effects, and first responder or caregiver stress. Her practice emphasizes steady support and concrete strategies to help people move forward.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and values. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people decide what matters most so sessions follow the client’s priorities. This approach is helpful for navigating family concerns, parenting stress, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She uses simple CBT tools to identify unhelpful thinking and practice different behaviors that reduce anxiety or improve relationships. That approach works well for stress, anxiety, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try techniques that fit each person. They will adjust methods over time so the plan matches progress and changing needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep therapy going around work, caregiving, or travel.
