About LaJuan
LaJuan Gibson uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people handle stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship troubles. He is identified as an LMSW, a Licensed Master Social Worker, and offers approachable support for practical change. LaJuan frames work around strengths and real-life problem solving to help clients move forward.
He has previously worked in juvenile justice, child welfare, mental health, substance abuse, and crisis intervention across Michigan counties. That background shaped his interest in working with people who show resilience despite hard circumstances.
How LaJuan works
LaJuan draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and strength-based practices in sessions. His sessions emphasize skill building and everyday strategies. He focuses on emotional regulation, anger management, de-escalation, and coping skills people can use between meetings.
He also supports people dealing with trauma, bipolar concerns, and identity-related stress, including LGBT issues. LaJuan describes his counseling style as eclectic and adaptable. He uses reality therapy and recovery-oriented thinking alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques to match the needs and preferences of each person.
Sessions are meant to be inviting and practical rather than academic. Clients can expect straightforward work on goals such as improving communication, managing mood swings, reducing substance-related harms, or navigating parenting and career stress. The approach is collaborative - setting clear steps, practicing new skills, and tracking small wins over time.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
LaJuan uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and building new coping habits. He also applies reality therapy, which focuses on taking practical steps now to meet needs and solve current problems. Recovery-oriented ideas are used when addressing substance use and rebuilding a meaningful daily routine.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. LaJuan adapts his mix of techniques to the persons preferences, life demands, and progress over time.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be good when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, check-ins between sessions, or when written reflection helps. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy days.
