About LaShana

LaShana Poole is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, anger, depression, relationship pressures, family concerns, and grief. She brings 12 years of professional experience and works from North Carolina. She speaks English and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

Her style is direct and compassionate. She treats each person as the expert on their own life while offering tools to reduce symptoms and build coping skills.

Background and approach

In sessions she focuses on practical changes rather than labels, and she supports clients as they practice new ways of responding to hard situations. LaShana uses evidence-based methods to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build more effective habits.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past hurt continues to affect daily life. She also draws on Existential Therapy to help people find meaning and personal values during difficult transitions. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward.

Together, she and the client set goals and try small, doable steps between sessions. She emphasizes strengths and real-life practice rather than lengthy theory discussions. LaShana holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential - shown as LPC and LCMHC.

Her licensure details are SC LPC 12013 and NC LCMHC 8961. She offers sessions through a range of online formats to fit different needs and schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

LaShana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Trauma-Focused Therapy is applied when past events continue to cause distress; it focuses on processing those experiences and learning coping strategies to manage triggers.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, life context, and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. If one approach doesn’t seem to fit, she works with the client to adjust the plan together.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life is unpredictable. Licensed professionals can use these formats to practice the same CBT and trauma-focused techniques as in person, while tailoring exercises to work between sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
