Shalette Lawton , LPC

Shalette Lawton is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or struggles with self-esteem. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.

Shalette believes each person knows their story best. She helps clients notice strengths they already have and build on them. Sessions are practical and goal-focused, with attention to emotions, thought patterns, and everyday routines.

Her approach blends listening with concrete tools. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and emotionally-focused ideas to address relationship and intimacy-related issues.

Shalette has worked in counseling for 12 years, most often with adults facing life changes, grief, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD-related challenges, and chronic health or caregiver burdens. She also supports people coping with anger, sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

People who choose her often want a compassionate partner who offers small, doable steps. She emphasizes collaboration, clear goals, and practical strategies that can fit into a busy life. Sessions are offered in English for those located in Georgia.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Shalette often uses client-centered therapy to start sessions by following what matters most to the person. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting feelings, and helping clients identify their own goals and strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy, another common part of her practice, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and actions and teaches simple exercises to change patterns that cause distress.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients often mix approaches as needed rather than sticking to one single method.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and chat or text sessions can suit quick check-ins or ongoing written support. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
