About LaJuana
LaJuana Walker-McGill is an LPC, LMHC with 24 years of clinical experience licensed in Missouri. She focuses on relationship concerns, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also pays attention to issues around forgiveness and building self-love.
LaJuana works from the view that clients know their own stories. She listens for strengths and habits that can be used to make small, practical changes. Sessions involve talking through patterns, identifying unhelpful thoughts, and trying new ways of responding to real situations.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that keep problems stuck. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations grounded in the client’s perspective. Both approaches are used to make change concrete and doable in daily life.
Typical work includes breaking big problems into smaller steps. That can mean short experiments to test a different response, or exercises to practice a new behavior between meetings. Progress is tracked by looking at what changed and what still gets in the way.
LaJuana aims for sessions that are practical and straightforward. She prefers clear goals and regular check-ins on how new strategies feel. The focus is on usable skills people can apply outside the session.
For anyone thinking about starting, she asks for a short intake questionnaire and a first appointment to set goals. This helps shape a practical plan that fits the person’s life and concerns.
How her approaches translate to online work
LaJuana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems repeating. CBT sessions are often structured, with clear goals, practical worksheets, and small experiments to try between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy means she listens to the client’s perspective and uses that view to guide each session, allowing the client’s priorities to shape what is worked on.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to decide whether CBT exercises, a client-centered conversation style, or a mix will best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reviewed over the first few sessions so the plan stays useful and relevant.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use sessions to practice skills in real-life settings and report back what worked or did not work.
