Evidence-based approaches for online care

LaShawn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional processing. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting to improve confidence and daily functioning. This method is useful for low self-esteem and motivation struggles. Another approach centers on grief and loss, offering space to name painful feelings, track how they change over time, and develop simple coping practices that reduce overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. LaShawn will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what works best. The aim is to co-create clear steps that feel doable between sessions.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and have deeper conversations, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, written reflections, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
