About LaSharta
LaSharta Pearson is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of practice. She brings a practical, encouraging style to sessions and emphasizes positive affirmation. Her work centers on helping people make steady change one step at a time.
She believes therapeutic progress is like planting a seed - small actions and regular care lead to growth. Sessions focus on a person’s goals and what matters most to them. She adapts each plan to fit individual needs rather than using the same approach for everyone.
How LaSharta works
Her clinical toolbox includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods. She draws on specific skills from these approaches to help clients manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship struggles. LaSharta also works with people facing addiction challenges, career strain, caregiver stress, identity and intimacy questions, and chronic feelings of isolation.
She pays attention to co-occurring issues like mood disorders, panic attacks, and personality-related patterns when they affect daily life. Before practicing as a mental health professional she served in the US Air Force and worked as a corrections officer, and she has volunteered with organizations such as the Special Olympics and Big Brother Big Sister.
Those experiences shape her respectful, down-to-earth approach and her focus on practical steps toward change.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take values-driven action. It uses simple exercises to reduce avoidance and build a life that fits personal priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thought patterns and reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for people who struggle with mood swings, anger, or relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals, preferences, and daily challenges and suggest methods that match what you want to change. You and the therapist will adjust tactics over time so the work stays relevant to your needs.
Online therapy includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, homework, and when clients prefer written communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
