With 23 years of clinical experience, she has worked with people managing trauma, depression, PTSD, relationship challenges, and end-of-life concerns.

Her background includes work addressing addiction and caregiver stress as well as issues such as impulsivity and isolation.

LaSonda uses a mix of approaches in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behavior. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Mindfulness and dialectical skills appear in her work to teach emotion regulation and present-moment awareness.

Her style is laid back and compassionate. She describes the relationship as a partnership where honesty and respect guide the work. Sessions tend to focus on concrete goals, skill-building, and real-world strategies that people can use between meetings.

People often seek her help for issues such as addiction, caregiver strain, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting stress, and coping with major life transitions. She also lists intellectual disability among the areas she focuses on and supports people navigating related challenges.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how problems feel day to day. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve calm in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods match the person's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration may include trying a technique for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm the current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer sessions without travel. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.
