About LaShana
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 12 years of experience, LaShana Poole focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship issues, family concerns, and grief. She works with people who are managing mood and impulse challenges and those navigating midlife, cultural concerns, and identity questions. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
LaShana uses practical, person-centered methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She helps clients identify patterns that make life harder and then tries out small changes to shift those patterns. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at clear, manageable steps rather than jargon or labels.
In sessions she listens for strengths clients already use and builds on those. She guides people through coping strategies for anxiety, tools for managing cravings or anger, and ways to process past trauma. The work can include talking about values, testing new behaviors, and practicing skills between appointments.
Her background includes a dozen years of clinical experience in North Carolina settings. LaShana describes clients as experts in their own stories and treats them as active partners in planning treatment. She uses the combination of CBT, existential viewpoints, and trauma-focused methods to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term meaning questions.
Practical matters such as cost vary by location and sessions operate via a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, the typical route is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
LaShana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical steps and skills for anxiety, mood problems, and impulse control. Existential Therapy is used to clarify values and meaning when people face life transitions or midlife questions; it involves direct conversations about what matters and choices ahead. Trauma-Focused Therapy supports processing past traumatic events with strategies aimed at reducing the ways trauma shapes daily reactions and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences and then collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first. Sessions can shift over time if needs change, combining skills practice with deeper meaning-focused exploration when useful.
Confirm current session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people use therapy more consistently and integrate new skills into everyday life.
