About Latasha
Latasha Shannon is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of clinical experience. She is licensed to practice in Michigan and has a long history of supporting people through depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and addiction.
She focuses on practical help for everyday problems that affect life at home. That includes stress, relationship strain, grief, intimacy-related issues, and the pressures of parenting and caregiving. She also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, career shifts, and major life changes.
Latasha uses clear, research-based methods to guide sessions. She draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, emotionally focused tools, and mindfulness practices. Sessions aim to identify patterns, build skills, and set small, doable steps that fit daily life.
People who choose her tend to want straightforward talk and actionable steps rather than long, vague explanations. She listens for the issues that show up around relationships and family life, then helps people map changes they can try at home.
Her background includes nearly two decades in clinical settings and community work. That experience informs a practical approach to problems such as addiction, dissociation, abandonment concerns, and end-of-life caregiving. Latasha encourages realistic goals and steady progress you can notice between sessions.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online work is arranged
Latasha often draws on client-centered methods that focus on the person's own goals and experience. That approach means sessions follow the individual's pace and priorities, with the therapist listening first and then helping shape options that make sense at home.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress that shows up around relationships or work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy supplies practical coping skills for intense emotion, impulsivity, and relationship conflict; it combines acceptance with clear behavioral tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Latasha will talk through goals, test methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Session formats are not listed in this profile, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also accommodate people who prefer shorter or phone-based meetings when a full video session does not fit into a break or has bandwidth limits.
