About Lashanda
Dr. Lashanda Baylor is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Mississippi with 23 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and a range of concerns including addiction, trauma, grief, and self-esteem. She also addresses parenting, relationship issues, mood disorders, ADHD, and women’s issues.
Her style is goal oriented and client centered. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings. She favors practical tools that help change unhelpful thoughts and habits while tracking real-world progress.
Baylor uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with attachment-informed and emotion-focused methods. That blend aims to link current thinking and behavior patterns with past relationship experiences and present emotional responses. Sessions often include skills practice, guided reflection, and problem-solving exercises.
People meet with her to break cycles of impulsivity, address drug and alcohol addiction concerns, and manage mood swings or self-harm urges. She works through grief, eating-related problems, and the stresses that come with life changes in straightforward terms. Conversations tend to be focused on measurable goals and next steps rather than long theory discussion.
Her approach includes tracking progress and adjusting plans as needed. She asks about specific goals early and uses short-term strategies and longer habits depending on what a person needs. The emphasis is on usable techniques that fit daily life and clear follow-up actions.
How her approaches fit with online work
Dr. Baylor uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises, behavior experiments, and clear steps that people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or change habits.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. That perspective helps when relationship dynamics, emotion regulation, or trust issues are part of the problem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to name and work through strong feelings, which can be useful for grief, anger, and relationship-related distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and how they prefer to work. That choice is reviewed and adjusted as progress is tracked.
