About Latasha
Latasha Shannon is a licensed social worker with 19 years of clinical experience. She practices in Michigan and focuses on helping people navigate difficult emotions and life changes. She holds the LMSW and LCSW credentials and uses practical methods to address mental health concerns.
Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma and addiction. She also supports people coping with grief, relationship and intimacy struggles, anger, low self-esteem, career shifts, and compassion fatigue.
How Latasha works
Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and hospice or end-of-life concerns. In sessions she draws from client-centered approaches and evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She brings mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas into conversations when they fit the person's needs.
The result is a blend of strategies tailored to the issues at hand rather than a single fixed method. Latasha aims to make sessions straightforward and usable. People can expect to talk through what matters, try skills between meetings, and track small changes over time.
She emphasizes simple tools for managing impulsivity, substance use patterns, dissociation, or mood swings. Her background includes long-term clinical practice across multiple states and work with people facing complex medical or caregiving situations. She keeps language clear and practical and focuses on building resilience and workable steps forward.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they describe their experience. It helps people feel heard and supports them in setting their own goals for change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood changes, and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, adds emotion regulation tools and effective coping strategies for impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose or mix methods so sessions address immediate problems and longer-term growth.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a short check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and get timely support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or tight schedules.
