About LaSonda
LaSonda Sylte is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by anger, stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and other life changes. Her manner is calm and straightforward, and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
LaSonda meets each person where they are and works alongside them to set clear goals. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas are woven into sessions to build present-moment awareness and values-based action. Her background includes long clinical experience addressing trauma, addiction, and relationship concerns. Over two decades working in Indiana settings taught her to adapt strategies to each person’s daily life.
She blends evidence-informed approaches with a warm, respectful style so people feel understood and heard. In sessions she helps people develop better coping skills for anger, manage impulses, and reduce cravings or compulsive behaviors. She also supports those facing caregiving stress, end-of-life issues, or major life transitions.
Her aim is to leave people with usable skills they can practice between meetings. LaSonda offers multiple online formats to fit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. She will work with each person to choose the session style that fits their schedule and communication preferences.

How specific approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, depression, and life transitions when someone wants clearer priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that fuel anxiety, low mood, or unhealthy habits. It often includes practical exercises to practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with impulsivity and intense anger.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That plan can change over time as progress is tracked and different skills are tested.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, giving flexibility for busy schedules. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and skills coaching. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, homework guidance, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily routines.
