About LaShana
LaShana Poole is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, anger, depression, relationship strain, family concerns, and grief. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier. LaShana emphasizes a strengths-based outlook and treats the person, not a label.
She describes life as an emotional rollercoaster and invites clients to notice what already works for them. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns that feed anxiety, impulsivity, or anger, and then helps people try small changes that add up. LaShana uses approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on existential ideas to explore meaning and choices.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past hurts continue to affect daily life. Her style is direct but compassionate. She encourages honest conversation and practical homework between sessions.
Expect clear options, gentle challenge, and step-by-step strategies you can test in real life. LaShana holds licenses as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC. She has 12 years of experience working with people across a range of concerns.
She practices from North Carolina and conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches work online
LaShana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills you can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or curb impulsive actions.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to cause distress. This approach looks at how trauma affects feelings, reactions, and relationships, and works to reduce symptoms and increase daily functioning in straightforward steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that make sense for you. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and use visual resources, while phone sessions can fit into a short break and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or for shorter check-ins. These options can make it simpler to schedule therapy around work and family life, and to try approaches without extra travel.
