About LaSonda
LaSonda Sylte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 23 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, depression, relationship issues, trauma and many life changes. She also works with concerns around parenting, sleep and eating, self-esteem, ADHD, and caregiver or aging-related stress.
She approaches care in a straightforward, collaborative way. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying practical alternatives, and building skills that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses, alongside ACT, DBT, mindfulness, and client-centered methods.
Sylte adapts what she offers to the person in front of her. That can mean short skill-building exercises, practice assignments between sessions, or learning ways to tolerate strong emotions. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques when addiction or readiness for change is part of the work.
Her background includes many years working with people affected by trauma and with those facing end-of-life and caregiver stress. She has experience across adult age groups and with medical and behavioral health concerns that overlap. Her practical focus is on clear goals and measurable steps toward them.
People who prefer direct feedback and structured tools often find this approach useful. Sessions aim to be concrete and action-oriented while allowing space to talk through the events and feelings that brought someone in.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
LaSonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT focuses on practical steps such as tracking thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and comparing outcomes to expectations. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build action even when difficult feelings are present, helping with persistent stress, anxiety, or life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about what seems most useful and adapt methods based on goals and preferences. That means sessions can shift between skill practice, problem solving, or values-based planning as needed.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also make it simpler to continue care after a move or during times of change. Discussing goals and a plan for between-session practice is a normal part of her online sessions.
