About LaQuita

LaQuita Small is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, parenting, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She writes clearly about practical steps and offers straightforward support for people trying to regain balance. Her style is calm and direct, aimed at helping clients feel more capable in day-to-day life.

She draws on ten years of experience to help people navigate things like divorce and separation, workplace pressures, and social anxiety.

Background and approach

Sessions often include working on self-love, forgiveness, and ways to manage emotional pain after difficult events. The goal is gradual improvement through small, usable changes rather than quick fixes. Her approach is trauma-aware and respectful of cultural differences.

She emphasizes building resilience and self-compassion so people can respond to stress with clearer thinking. Practical coping tools and confidence-building are common parts of the work. LaQuita uses evidence-based techniques to address depression, anxiety, and relationship-related stress.

She offers a listening presence while helping clients set realistic goals and try new ways of coping. Progress is paced to each person’s situation. Clients can expect a collaborative relationship where homework and real-world practice are part of therapy.

Sessions focus on skills that translate to everyday parenting, work, and social situations. This practical focus supports steady, sustainable change over time.

How evidence-based approaches work online

LaQuita uses evidence-based techniques that focus on teaching skills people can use outside sessions. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral work, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another frequent emphasis is skills training for stress and emotion regulation, which teaches concrete strategies for calming down and managing strong feelings in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process that matches tools to a person's needs and preferences rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let people fit sessions around parenting, work, and other responsibilities. Remote formats also make it easier to practice skills between sessions and get brief support when situations arise.
