Latasha Shannon

Latasha Shannon is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of clinical experience. She practices in Michigan and has supported people through depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and addiction. Latasha focuses on helping individuals find practical ways to manage stress and rebuild strength.

Her style is warm and direct. Sessions aim to be a space for honest talk and steady problem solving. She listens for what matters most and helps people set small, realistic steps they can use between meetings.

Latasha blends several evidence-informed approaches to match a person's needs. She uses client-centered methods to follow the client's priorities, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and dialectical skills to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness and emotionally focused methods also inform her work when relevant.

Many people come for help with relationship strain, grief, workplace stress, or struggles with mood and substance use. She also lists intellectual disability among areas of focus and works to adapt interventions so they fit each person's abilities and goals.

Her practice pays attention to life stage issues such as aging and end-of-life conversations, as well as challenges like codependency, commitment concerns, and impulsivity. The overall aim is to help people gain clearer coping tools and greater day-to-day stability.

Approaches that guide online therapy choices

This work often uses client-centered therapy to keep the client's goals front and center. That approach emphasizes listening, reflecting what the client says, and letting the person lead the pace and topics of therapy.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is used to identify patterns of thought and behavior that cause distress and to build practical strategies for change. CBT is commonly chosen for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through techniques like distress tolerance and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps most. This is a collaborative effort that aims for clear, workable steps.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list formats explicitly. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about how to schedule sessions so they work with daily life and responsibilities.
