About Latasha

Latasha Shannon is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience helping people manage hard moments and find practical ways forward. She practices in Michigan and focuses on building strengths and clarity rather than labeling people by their problems.

Her work often begins with listening closely to what matters most to each person. She uses plain talk to help clients make sense of anxiety, depression, mood swings, addiction, trauma, grief, and self esteem concerns. Sessions aim to identify small changes that can ease day-to-day strain.

Latasha blends several evidence-informed methods to match the needs of each client. That can mean learning new coping skills, practicing mindfulness tools, or shifting unhelpful patterns in thinking. She keeps explanations straightforward and builds practical steps clients can try between sessions.

People who see her report focused, respectful conversations that move toward clearer goals. She pays attention to life context, such as work stress, relationship problems, caregiving, or end-of-life concerns, and tailors plans accordingly.

With a client-centered stance, the therapist helps people set the pace and focus of the work. The tone is collaborative and strengths-based, aimed at helping people regain a sense of control and confidence as they work through changes.

Latasha brings nineteen years of clinical perspective and a calm, direct style to sessions. Her goal is practical progress - clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better everyday coping - all discussed in everyday language.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and wants help setting practical goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns and ease symptoms like anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness in stressful situations.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, DBT strategies, mindfulness practice, or a client-centered pace that lets the person lead the work.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. It also supports continuing work through life transitions like moves or changing schedules. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote conversations, focusing on skill practice, problem-solving, and real-life homework to keep progress moving forward.
