About LaShayla
Dr. LaShayla Dyer welcomes people looking for help with family and parenting concerns. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, who practices in Georgia and brings 11 years of clinical experience.
She writes plainly and aims to create a space where people can speak honestly about what’s hard. Her work centers on practical steps people can take to improve daily life and family relationships. Dr.
Dyer focuses on relationship and family difficulties, parenting stress, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues like intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, caregiver stress, and blended family challenges. She approaches problems in ways that help people notice what matters and make small changes that add up. Her style draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful actions.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in the client’s experience. These methods guide a practical, collaborative plan rather than a one-size-fits-all script. Sessions may include talking through specific parenting strategies, practicing communication skills, or learning ways to manage strong emotions.
Dr. Dyer encourages step-by-step progress and respects each person’s pace. She works in English and accepts international clients.
People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward goals, tools to use between sessions, and a focus on real-world changes. Her Georgia license is listed as GA LCSW CSW004872.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people identify what really matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings get in the way. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes where clarity and action matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It often includes brief exercises to practice between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, offering nonjudgmental listening and support as the foundation for change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Dyer uses these methods flexibly, and she will collaborate with each client to pick strategies that match goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. The plan can shift as progress is made and new priorities arise.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and practice skills between visits. Licensed professionals can adapt the chosen methods to work well over these formats while helping clients make steady, practical progress.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
