About Lashanda
Lashanda Robertson is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing things like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship strains, anger, trauma and bipolar disorder. Lashanda describes a straightforward, interactive style and focuses on practical steps rather than labels.
She uses cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches alongside other counseling methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and reactions. In sessions she helps clients learn concrete skills for managing strong feelings, changing patterns that lead to arguments, and coping with loss or major life changes.
Her work often centers on problem-solving and skill practice. That can mean identifying thoughts that feed anger, trying small behavior changes, and rehearsing different responses between sessions. She also addresses the aftermath of trauma and abuse with attention to pacing and stability.
Lashanda draws on two decades of work across multiple settings, so she is used to helping people who come in from different backgrounds and stages of life. She avoids stigmatizing labels and aims to speak plainly about what is getting in the way of daily functioning and relationships.
When someone starts, Lashanda typically builds a plan with clear short-term goals and practical homework. The focus is on skills you can use right away to reduce reactivity and improve communication with people close to you.
How CBT and DBT fit into online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns that make anger worse. In practice that means noticing automatic thoughts, testing them, and trying different behaviors to reduce reactivity. This approach is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with anger.DBT emphasizes skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. Clients learn simple exercises for calming intense feelings, managing urges, and speaking clearly when tensions run high. DBT skills can help when anger leads to repeated conflict or intense mood swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lashanda will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks how well techniques are working and adjusts plans as needed so sessions stay practical and focused.
