Dr. Lashanda Baylor, LPC - Therapist in Mississippi

About Lashanda

Dr. Lashanda Baylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with 23 years of experience. She brings a practical, goal-focused style to sessions and aims to create a respectful space where people can address stress, mood concerns, and addictive behaviors.

She writes treatment plans to match each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Her work often centers on common problems like anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues related to addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, self-esteem, and mood variability. In addition, she lists women's issues and self-harm among areas she attends to. Dr.

Baylor uses several evidence-based methods in therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation and reducing impulsive actions.

Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused approaches look at how relationships and emotional patterns shape reactions. Sessions may include practical skill building, talking through recent problems, and setting clear short-term goals. Dr.

Baylor describes her style as client-centered and collaborative, tailoring each plan to what the person wants to achieve. She practices in Mississippi and conducts online sessions in English. The first step is a short questionnaire and scheduling, after which she and the client work together to set goals and steps to reach them.

How Dr. Baylor’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based work focuses on how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings today. Online sessions using this approach help people notice recurring ways of relating and try new, healthier responses in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) zeroes in on thoughts and actions that keep problems going. In teletherapy, CBT often looks like tracking thoughts, testing them between sessions, and practicing small behavior changes that build over weeks.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether CBT, attachment work, or another approach will best match those needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work lives, resume work after a break, or follow up quickly when issues pop up. The variety of formats supports steady progress while keeping the work practical and focused.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
