LaShana Poole

LaShana Poole is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, anger, depression, relationship strain, family issues, and grief. She brings 12 years of experience and a straightforward, respectful approach. She emphasizes the client as the expert in their own life and focuses on practical steps forward.

Clients can expect a calm space to talk through what feels most urgent. LaShana listens for strengths and builds on them. She avoids labeling and works with each person’s priorities to set small, doable goals.

Her approach blends practical strategies and deeper meaning work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Existential Therapy helps people reflect on values, purpose, and choices. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impacts of past hurt in a focused way.

LaShana pays attention to cultural background and the role it plays in a person’s story. She also helps people navigating co-morbidity, codependency, commitment concerns, impulsivity, midlife transitions, mood disorders, and issues common to young adults and women.

She is licensed as an LPC and as an LCMHC in North Carolina. If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through the first steps and supports them as they build a clearer path forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

LaShana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach gives concrete skills for anxiety, mood problems, and coping with urges. Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, values, and life choices, helping people clarify what matters when they feel stuck or facing transitions. Trauma-Focused Therapy zeroes in on the effects of past hurt and supports pacing and strategies to reduce its impact on daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. She works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel useful from the start.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people continue work while managing responsibilities at home or work. Licensed professionals adapt tools like CBT worksheets, values-based exercises, and trauma-informed pacing to the online setting to keep progress moving forward.
