About Lashanda

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 23 years of experience, Dr. Lashanda Baylor helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction, and trauma. She practices using several established approaches and focuses on practical, goal-oriented work. Sessions are described by her as client-centered and hands-on.

Dr. Baylor uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and connection are central to the concern. Dialectical behavior skills appear in her work for managing strong emotions and impulsive actions.

Her style is direct and practical. She emphasizes clear goals and steps clients can try between sessions. Conversations focus on actionable changes rather than long theoretical discussion.

Dr. Baylor has worked in behavioral therapy for two decades plus and brings experience with mood disorders, substance use concerns, self-harm tendencies, and women’s issues. She lists ADHD, bipolar conditions, grief, eating concerns, parenting stress, and family conflict among areas she addresses.

Sessions are guided by the client’s goals and paced to what each person can handle. She uses client-centered methods to shape the plan and adjusts techniques as needs change. The first meetings typically clarify problems and set short-term targets.

People should confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Materials and homework may be part of the work when relevant to treatment goals.

How her approaches are used in remote work

Dr. Baylor commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies in her practice. CBT helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive actions.

She also brings attachment-informed and emotionally-focused ideas to sessions when relationships or connection are central concerns. Those approaches help people name patterns in relating and practice different ways of responding to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift, and she adjusts techniques to match the client’s priorities.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered. Before booking, confirm the available session options. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain steady work on goals between appointments.
