Hi! I’m LaShunda Jones, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who is passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, discover their strengths, and create meaningful changes.
I have experience working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, family conflict, low self-esteem, substance use concerns, and life transitions.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of being judged. I strive to create a comfortable environment where clients feel heard, understood, respected, and empowered.
I bring authenticity, warmth, and appropriate humor into my sessions because I believe building a genuine therapeutic relationship is an important part of healing. I meet my clients where they are, recognizing that everyone’s journey is different.
Together, we will explore your concerns, identify your strengths, develop healthy coping strategies, and work toward goals that are meaningful to you. My goal is to help you build confidence, establish healthy boundaries, improve your emotional well-being, and become the best version of yourself.
Taking the first step toward therapy isn’t always easy, but you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing, growth, and positive change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
