About LaShica

LaShica Hemingway is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 12 years of counseling experience. She welcomes people who are taking steps to care for themselves and lays out a clear, practical way to begin. LaShica lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, and brings a steady, down-to-earth presence to sessions.

She has worked with adults managing mental illness, developmental disabilities, and substance use concerns. She also provided individual and group counseling for young adults in transitional housing.

Background and approach

In addition, LaShica has experience offering individual and family counseling in both clinical and home settings. Her approach blends methods but emphasizes cognitive-behavioral work and person-centered care. That means sessions often focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that cause stress, then practicing new ways to respond.

The person-centered side centers the conversation on each client’s goals and values. LaShica uses straightforward language and practical steps during sessions. She helps people weigh options and gather resources so they can make informed decisions about their lives.

Her tone is encouraging, with an emphasis on realistic progress. She enjoys weightlifting, softball, and running outside of work. LaShica is married and has two children, and she draws on a calm, organized style to help clients move forward.

Practical therapeutic methods and online access

LaShica uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and changing patterns that cause friction in relationships. She also draws on person-centered therapy, which prioritizes the client’s goals and creates space for people to shape their own path.

These approaches are introduced collaboratively. She works with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life gets complicated. Clients can choose the format that feels most comfortable, and the variety supports follow-up between longer sessions when needed.
