LaShana Poole

LaShana Poole is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, grief, and relationship or family concerns. She holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and brings 12 years of professional experience in North Carolina. LaShana emphasizes a practical, down-to-earth approach that centers the person's own strengths and story.

She frames therapy as a collaboration where the client is the expert on their life. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that cause pain and trying small, workable changes. She uses straightforward tools to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping.

LaShana blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, existential thinking, and trauma-focused work. That mix lets her address thinking patterns, personal meaning, and the effects of past hurt. She adapts the approach to what each person needs rather than following a fixed script.

People meet her to regain control after setbacks, work through grief, or change behaviors linked to addiction and impulsivity. She also supports those facing mood shifts, multicultural stressors, and relationship strain. The goal is clearer choices and steadier moments, not quick fixes.

To begin, she asks about immediate concerns and personal goals. From there she and the person map out practical steps and check progress as therapy continues. The focus stays on real-life changes that fit a person's day-to-day routine.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

LaShana draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and patterns that feed anger. It focuses on practical steps and short experiments that people can try between sessions.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past hurt. This work looks at how traumatic events shape reactions and coping behaviors, and it introduces ways to reduce reactivity and improve safety in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people meet from a place that suits their routine while still focusing on practical skills and steady progress.
