Dr. Lashanda Baylor

Dr. Lashanda Baylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Mississippi with 23 years of clinical experience. She holds a Doctor of Professional Counseling and an MS LPC and focuses on clear, goal-oriented work that helps people make concrete changes. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at practical progress rather than jargon.

Her sessions center on building a plan that fits each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors, and she uses Client-Centered methods to shape conversations around what matters most to the individual. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Attachment-Based ideas when they suit the goals.

Dr. Baylor often helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and mood-related concerns. She also addresses addiction, impulsivity, self-harm, grief, parenting stress, and women's issues. Her approach is practical: she works with people to set steps they can try between sessions.

Sessions aim to balance short-term goals and longer-term growth. Conversations are tailored to a person's pace and preferences. She emphasizes respect, dignity, and collaboration when creating a plan.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. The therapist uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Many of her methods adapt well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors; it often uses short exercises and homework that translate well to online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's priorities and uses active listening and reflection to guide the work, which fits a discussion-based online setting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that can be taught and practiced in virtual meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Adjustments are made along the way so the plan matches what is actually helpful.

Please confirm the available session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten travel time, allow for brief check-ins when needed, and support continued work between in-person visits. Licensed professionals can use a remote format to teach practical skills, review homework, and track progress over time.
