About La
LCSW-R in New York with 20 years of experience, La Shemah Williams helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and addiction-related problems. She works with adults and adolescents on issues such as grief, intimacy, body image, and workplace challenges. Sessions focus on practical coping skills and clearer communication.
La Shemah uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In practice that means listening to how someone describes their problem, identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and trying small, doable changes between sessions. She also pays attention to emotions in the moment and relationships that matter to the client.
Her sessions tend to be interactive. People talk through current problems, try new ways of responding, and reflect on what works. She helps people set short-term goals and notices progress over weeks.
Her background includes two decades in clinical social work practice in New York, where she has worked with people after trauma and abuse and with mood and anxiety problems. La Shemah has experience with parenting and communication difficulties and with issues around sexuality and self-image.
Clients can expect straightforward, skills-focused conversations that also explore emotions and relationship patterns. She emphasizes practical steps people can take between sessions. The aim is to reduce distress and build habits that support daily functioning.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they feel understood and can clarify goals; it is useful for relationship, parenting, and self-worth concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions and interactional patterns in relationships and can help with intimacy issues and communication problems.Choosing a method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches, and adjust as needed rather than prescribing a single method from the start. Clients and the therapist work together to find what helps most.
