About La'Shundra
La'Shundra Connor, LCSW, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She supports those facing family conflict, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and depression. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at easing daily pressures and improving coping skills.
She brings three years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care matters, and challenges related to autism and Asperger syndrome.
Background and approach
She also has experience addressing caregiver stress, communication problems, and impulsivity. Her background includes work with first responders and people affected by domestic violence and separation. Sessions focus on building clear, usable skills.
She helps people learn regulation techniques, improve conflict-resolution strategies, and practice communication that reduces tension at home. She also assists with planning supports such as IEP and BIP considerations when behavioral or social-emotional needs affect daily life. La'Shundra aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be discussed honestly.
She frames the work as a partnership and emphasizes small, manageable steps rather than quick fixes. Her style is practical and compassionate, designed for people who want realistic tools for change. She is licensed as a clinical social worker in Missouri.
Sessions are offered in English and provided by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.
Approaches that focus on skills and daily coping
La'Shundra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that break problems into workable steps. One common approach she uses teaches practical regulation and coping skills to manage stress and anxiety; sessions focus on short exercises people can practice outside of meetings to reduce worry and reactivity. Another approach centers on improving communication and conflict-resolution skills for families and caregivers, helping people change how they talk about difficult topics and solve recurring problems.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Together with clients she reviews needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods over time. That means trying small strategies first, tracking what helps, and shifting focus when something isn’t working for the person.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls are a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins, and text messaging can help people fit brief sessions into a busy day. These options make it easier to meet consistently and to choose the format that fits each person’s routine and comfort.
