About Latasha

Latasha Shannon is a licensed social worker with 19 years of clinical experience. She practices in Michigan and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and life transitions. Her work aims to help clients find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

She uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches to help people name the problem and try practical steps to change it. Sessions often include learning skills for mood and stress management, reviewing patterns that keep problems going, and trying small behavior changes that fit daily life.

Background and approach

She supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Latasha takes a client-centered stance, listening first to what matters most to the person in the room. From there she draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense emotions.

Mindfulness exercises and emotionally focused techniques are added when they serve the client's goals. Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns, including bipolar disorder, substance use, anger, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She also helps people facing aging and end-of-life questions and those coping with separation and family problems.

Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Latasha works with each person to set clear, doable goals and to track progress over time.

Online support

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Latasha commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy when working online. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's priorities and building a trusting conversation; it helps people feel heard and decide what change looks like for them. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches specific techniques to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when those tools suit a person's needs. That approach offers concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving communication, which many people find useful alongside other methods. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - the therapist works with the client to set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when face-to-face interaction matters; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep steady progress over time.
