About LaShonya
Dr. LaShonya Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She speaks plainly and listens first to understand the situation.
She meets people where they are and helps them find clearer ways to handle conflict, stress, and tough emotions. She uses straightforward techniques from Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead and prioritize their goals. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at unhelpful thoughts and builds new, practical skills.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at making everyday life less overwhelming and improving how people relate to one another. With 22 years of experience, Dr. Williams has worked with issues such as trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger, anxiety, addictions, and depression.
She also addresses communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and family of origin patterns. Her background includes helping people facing first responder stress and feelings of isolation. In the room she treats people as the experts on their own lives and focuses on their existing strengths.
She offers straightforward tools for handling money worries, parenting struggles, and rebuilding self-esteem. The goal is practical change that fits each family’s needs. Starting therapy is often hard, and she acknowledges that step.
Dr. Williams helps people move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and better daily routines.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities. In practice this means the therapist reflects what is said and supports the client’s choices, which helps when families need a calm space to sort problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical tools to change reactions. It is often used for anxiety, anger, stress, and patterns that affect relationships and parenting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is reviewed and adjusted over time so the sessions stay relevant.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life. Video calls let people work face-to-face from home, phone sessions are helpful when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or support between sessions. These options offer flexibility and can help keep progress steady even on hectic days.
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.
