About LaShana

LaShana Poole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship strain, family issues, and grief. Sessions are presented plainly and with direct problem-solving in mind.

LaShana focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. She listens to each person’s story and helps identify patterns that keep anger or frustration cycling. Then she works with people to try new ways of responding to triggers and to build everyday tools for managing impulses and mood shifts.

Her background includes training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Those approaches show up as focused conversations, behavior experiments, and attention to how past events shape current reactions.

Clients can expect short-term goals alongside deeper work when needed. LaShana supports people who want to reduce outbursts, handle resentment at work or home, or cope with someone else’s difficult behavior. She also addresses related issues such as codependency, impulse control, and midlife transitions.

Practical matters are part of the process. She helps people build routines, experiment with different thinking patterns, and practice skills that ease moments of escalation. The intent is clearer choices and fewer moments of regret over time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

LaShana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to connect thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT involves trying small behavior changes and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anger spikes and anxiety. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past events affect present reactions and uses structured steps to process those harms and reduce their hold on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative process means sessions can shift over time from immediate coping skills to deeper trauma work if needed.

The practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life; confirm current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or schedule sessions around work breaks. It also reduces travel time and can help people keep consistent appointments while they practice new ways of responding between visits.
