Latasha Shannon

Latasha Shannon is a licensed social worker with 19 years of clinical experience. She practices in Michigan and focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and life transitions. Her approach is centered on listening closely and working together to find practical ways forward.

She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders such as bipolar, and addiction. Anger and intimacy-related concerns are among the issues she addresses, along with grief, career stress, and family-related problems. Her work also covers compassion fatigue and challenges tied to aging or end-of-life situations.

Latasha uses several evidence-informed approaches to meet people where they are. She draws on client-centered methods to build trust and on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness practices are woven in to teach emotional regulation and reduce impulsivity.

Her style is direct but warm. Sessions focus on concrete skills, safety planning when needed, and steps that can be practiced between meetings. She also supports exploration of past wounds when that helps clients make different choices in the present.

Latasha holds the Licensed Master Social Worker credential, LMSW, and the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW. She aims to help each person build coping tools and clearer next steps, whether the goal is symptom relief, better relationships, or stronger day-to-day functioning.

How therapy methods translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working connection. In practice this means the therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say, and helps you set clear goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It involves identifying patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing skills between sessions to reduce anxiety, low mood, or problematic reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean starting with skills-based work, then adding deeper exploration of past experiences if that helps you feel and function better.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and reducing scheduling friction. It also supports consistent practice of skills between meetings, which is important for managing anger, impulsivity, and mood symptoms.
