LaShana Poole, LPC, LCMHC

LaShana Poole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship strains, family concerns, and grief. She speaks English and works with adults seeking clearer direction and steadier emotional footing.

LaShana focuses on practical steps people can take right away. She listens first, then helps identify patterns that keep the same problems repeating. Sessions often include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events keep causing distress in daily life.

She also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning and values during difficult times. That approach addresses questions about purpose, choices, and where someone wants to head next. The work blends skill-building with time to reflect on what matters most.

LaShana emphasizes collaboration. She treats each person as the expert on their life and works with them to set clear, achievable goals. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at helping people take small steps that add up to lasting change.

To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. LaShana uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and she does not currently accept international clients.

How her approaches guide online therapy

LaShana uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy to help people make change that feels doable. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and shifting behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on addressing the ways past events still affect daily life and helps build coping skills to manage triggers.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then try strategies that fit. Together they adjust the plan as progress and challenges emerge, so the therapy stays practical and relevant.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it possible to meet from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and trauma-focused tools to work well in remote sessions, focusing on skill practice, reflective conversation, and concrete action steps.
