About Lashonda

Lashonda Knox is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people facing family issues, grief, parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, and addiction concerns. She draws on ten years of counseling experience in Georgia to help clients sort through hard moments. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical steps that can bring calm and clearer thinking.

Lashonda listens first to understand each person's story. She uses narrative techniques to help clients make sense of their experiences and find new options.

Background and approach

She also brings person-centered skills that emphasize respect, empathy, and collaboration in sessions. Sessions blend talk work with concrete tools. Cognitive behavioral ideas help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.

Mindfulness ideas are used to build awareness and reduce reactivity to stress. Her background includes a Bachelor of Social Work from Georgia State University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Georgia. The license shown is LCSW, with the credential CSW noted as well, and the Georgia license number is GA LCSW CSW005685.

Lashonda has worked with people from varied racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. She focuses on creating a respectful space where people can talk through what matters to them and develop skills to move forward. The work tends to be practical, paced to the client's needs, and aimed at generating small, useful changes over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters most and take small actions aligned with those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes by shifting attention from struggle to meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then tests and practices new responses to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. If something isn't helping, adjustments are made together until the plan fits your needs.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions remove the need for a camera, and live chat or text-based messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life is unpredictable.

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.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
