About LaShayla
Dr. LaShayla Dyer greets people with a calm, practical approach. She aims to help those feeling overwhelmed by relationships, family stress, grief, anxiety, depression, or life transitions.
She encourages clients to use their own strengths and to name what feels hard now. Dr. Dyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, and also holds CSW credentials.
She has 11 years of clinical experience supporting people through intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and mood disorders such as bipolar and depression.
How LaShayla works
Her additional focus includes adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, attachment issues, and blended family challenges. Her work emphasizes straightforward, collaborative therapy. Sessions tend to focus on what matters day to day - improving communication, managing strong emotions, rebuilding trust, and finding practical routines for sleep or self-care.
She draws on client-centered methods to listen closely and on CBT and ACT tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. When relationships are the core concern she uses elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to examine patterns and strengthen connection. For stress, trauma, or grief she blends attentiveness with skills that reduce symptoms and improve coping.
Many people come for short-term coaching or longer therapeutic work. Dr. Dyer provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support options
Online approaches for relationships and life changes
Dr. Dyer uses cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and client-centered methods in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take steps toward a meaningful life. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and respected.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps match tools to the person's situation, whether the priority is improving communication, managing mood swings, or coping with loss.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls support richer conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, short live chats are useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
