LaShica Hemingway, LCMHC

LaShica Hemingway is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She welcomes people who are taking a first step toward feeling better and sees counseling as a form of personal care. She brings 12 years of experience and a calm, direct style to sessions.

LaShica draws on an eclectic approach with a clear focus on cognitive-behavioral methods and person-centered work. In plain terms, she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and reflect on what matters to them. Sessions are practical and goal-focused while still paying attention to each person’s experience.

Her background includes work with adults who have mental illness, developmental disabilities, and substance use challenges. She has also provided individual and group counseling for young adults in transitional housing and offered therapeutic sessions in both clinical and home settings.

LaShica likes to work collaboratively, helping people weigh options and gather resources to make informed choices about their path forward. She values straightforward conversation and measurable steps toward change.

Outside of work she lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her family and enjoys lifting weights, running, and playing softball. She aims to make therapy fit into busy lives and to support practical progress toward clearer goals.

How therapeutic approaches and online work come together

LaShica uses cognitive-behavioral methods to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems by teaching practical tools to shift reactions.

She also draws on person-centered therapy, which means sessions prioritize the person’s own goals and values. That work focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the individual, and supporting choices that fit their life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. LaShica will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and preferences, and she checks in often to adjust the plan. The collaboration helps shape goals and the pace of work.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let someone choose audio-only if video is difficult. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent as life changes.
