About LaShana
LaShana Poole is a licensed professional counselor who helps people managing stress and anxiety. She draws on 12 years of clinical experience to support people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationships, family challenges, and grief. She focuses on practical conversations that make sense day to day.
Sessions tend to break problems into smaller steps and build new ways to cope. LaShana aims to help clients notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to make steady changes.
Background and approach
In therapy she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that increase worry or low mood. She also brings trauma-focused methods to calm reactions tied to past harm. Existential ideas help when people feel stuck by big life questions or uncertainty about purpose.
LaShana describes the work as collaborative. She talks with each person about goals and tests different strategies to see what fits. Progress is usually practical and paced to the clients comfort, with room to adjust as needed.
She is licensed in North Carolina as an LPC and as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. Sessions are offered in English and are suited to people who want clear tools for anxiety, mood concerns, or recovery from past experiences.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
LaShana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thought patterns that make anxiety and low mood worse. CBT focuses on noticing triggers, testing thoughts, and practicing small changes that reduce distress.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address reactions tied to past harm. This approach helps people learn ways to manage strong memories and reduce the ways those memories affect daily life.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. She works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time when something does not fit. The process is collaborative and paced to what the client needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and to try different formats until one feels right.
