About Lashanda
Dr. Lashanda Baylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Mississippi. She brings 23 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addictions, and life transitions.
She speaks English and works with adults seeking practical, goal-focused care. Her background includes a Doctor of Professional Counseling and a Master of Science with LPC credential. Over two decades she has supported people through depression, bipolar mood patterns, grief, trauma, and issues with impulsivity and substance use.
How Lashanda works
She emphasizes respect and dignity in every interaction. In sessions she uses straightforward, hands-on techniques. She draws from cognitive behavioral methods to break unhelpful thinking and from client-centered skills to stay focused on each person's goals.
Dialectical behavior ideas are used when emotional regulation and impulsivity are a focus. Dr. Baylor also integrates attachment-informed and emotionally focused ways of working when relationship patterns or connection issues come up.
Conversations turn toward practical steps, coping strategies, and clearer communication. Treatment plans are adjusted to match what is actually helping. People who choose her often want clear goals, concrete tools, and a therapist who listens without judgment.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process that aims for steady, manageable change. If someone is ready to take the next step, she supports goal setting and keeps work focused and achievable.

Online support options
Approach-driven care for online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection styles shape current relationships and emotional responses. It can help people understand patterns in close relationships and reduce reactive responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and managing mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive or self-harming behaviors. It is useful when strong emotions or impulsivity interfere with daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps, with clear goals and regular check-ins about progress.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option with lower bandwidth or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter updates, between-session support, and when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work focused and practical.
