Dr. LaShayla Dyer , LCSW, CSW

Dr. LaShayla Dyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia. She centers care on people facing relationship strain, changes in family life, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and caregiving stress. She frames clients as the experts in their own stories and offers steady support while they work through difficult moments.

Her approach is warm and direct. She listens for strengths you already use and helps you apply them to current problems. Sessions focus on practical steps you can take between meetings, and on clearer ways to communicate with others when relationships feel tense.

Dr. Dyer draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods to address mood, stress, and relationship concerns. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and principles from the Gottman Method when intimacy and communication are central to the work.

She has 11 years of clinical experience as a clinician and holds LCSW and CSW credentials. Her practice includes concerns such as parenting, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, attachment or family-of-origin issues, fertility worries, and work-related strain. Sessions can also address ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life transitions.

Appointments are available in English and can be scheduled for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. International clients may be seen. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then commit to actions that align with personal values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to ease depression and anxiety symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest strategies that fit. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues when working on relationships or emotion work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support frequent touchpoints, brief coaching, and ongoing reflection between sessions.
