Latasha Shannon

Latasha Shannon is a licensed social worker with 19 years of experience helping people through hard emotional times. She practices in Michigan and brings a calm, steady presence to sessions. Her work focuses on supporting people with depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and addiction.

She emphasizes a person-centered style that treats each client as an individual. In sessions she listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps people name patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Practical skills and short-term strategies are used alongside deeper emotional work when needed.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice across multiple settings. That experience informs how she helps with issues like grief, coping with life changes, relationship problems, and compassion fatigue. She draws on a range of therapeutic methods to match the work to each person.

Clients can expect direct, respectful dialogue and concrete tools to try between sessions. The therapist pays attention to cultural and life context while supporting steps toward clearer goals. Sessions balance problem-solving, emotional processing, and skill building.

People seeking help around hospice and end-of-life counseling, aging and geriatric issues, or substance concerns will find focused support for practical and emotional needs. The clinician aims to help people build resilience, manage symptoms, and make choices that fit their values.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and build their own solutions through empathetic listening and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can help with intense emotions and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The clinician collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, skip travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when energy is limited. It also allows practicing skills in real-life settings between appointments and keeps continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
