Shalette Lawton, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Shalette

Shalette Lawton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, sleep troubles, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her style is direct and supportive, helping people identify what matters and take small steps toward change.

She draws on 12 years of professional experience to guide conversations toward clear goals. Shalette treats trauma, abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue alongside concerns like anger, career stress, and self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and recovery from domestic violence and separation. In sessions she centers the person telling their story. She believes clients are the experts on their lives, and she helps them use their strengths to solve problems.

Techniques include working with thoughts and behaviors, strengthening emotional bonds, and building practical skills for daily life. Shalette uses a mix of cognitive behavioral tools, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness, client-centered listening, and solution-focused planning. That variety lets her match the approach to what someone needs right now.

She aims to make sessions straightforward and goal-oriented while staying compassionate. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the platform process for matching and appointments.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Shalette often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships and can help with intimacy concerns and communication problems.

She also draws on client-centered listening and solution-focused techniques to keep sessions collaborative. Finding the right mix is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose approaches based on goals, needs, and what feels most useful in real life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and allow consistent contact when someone needs regular check-ins or short, focused support. Many people find the range of options helps them maintain progress and practice new skills between sessions.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
