About LaShawnda
LaShawnda Gayden is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Indiana with 10 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, family conflict, and anger concerns. LaShawnda focuses on practical ways to manage feelings that feel overwhelming and get in the way of daily life.
She prefers a collaborative approach. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try new ways of responding. The aim is to build skills that reduce reactivity and increase control over intense emotions.
LaShawnda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. That means she draws on methods with research support and explains them in clear terms. Clients practice skills during and between sessions so change can carry over into real situations.
Her work pays attention to identity and life context. She asks about background and current stressors and adjusts how she works to fit those details. Therapy covers both immediate coping strategies and longer-term changes in thinking and behavior.
People who choose her often want concrete tools for anger, better ways to handle conflict, or relief from persistent worry and low mood. She helps set small, manageable goals and tracks progress over time. The pace is set by the person in therapy.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
LaShawnda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common method teaches people to notice triggers, pause, and choose a different response; it helps with anger and reactivity. Another approach emphasizes practicing concrete skills between sessions to reduce anxiety and lift mood over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework tasks.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep appointments. If you rely on shorter check-ins during a work break or prefer not to travel, online sessions can be a useful option.
