About LaShayla

Dr. LaShayla Dyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia who focuses on helping people manage relationship strain, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She emphasizes clients' strengths and encourages small steps toward clearer goals. Dr. Dyer speaks English and welcomes people from different places, including international clients, who want steady support.

She frames therapy as a space to talk honestly about what feels overwhelming. Sessions center on what the client thinks matters, with the therapist listening and helping shape next steps. Practical tools and reflective conversation are used together so people can try things between sessions and notice what helps.

Dr. Dyer draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address emotions and behavior. She also uses Emotionally-Focused and Gottman ideas when relationship patterns are part of the concern. Her methods aim to clarify values, change unhelpful thinking, and improve communication.

With 11 years of experience in clinical practice, she supports people facing common and complex challenges. Her focus areas include trauma and abuse, parenting and family issues, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and mood conditions like depression and bipolar. She also helps with adoption and foster care matters, caregiving stress, and intimacy-related concerns.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small action toward those values even when emotions are hard. It is useful for anxiety, stress, grief, and motivation concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience, with the therapist reflecting and supporting self-directed growth and confidence.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Over a few sessions, they adjust strategies so work in therapy matches the client’s needs and everyday life.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, or allow for a quicker check-in during a work break. They can also allow a person to use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Licensed professionals adapt tools from ACT, CBT, and client-centered work to make progress over distance without promising a specific outcome.
