About Latasha

Latasha Shannon is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Michigan with 19 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, mood disorders, and grief. Latasha lists anger among the concerns she addresses and helps people who want better control of how they react and relate.

She focuses on practical, spoken work in sessions. Conversations explore what triggers strong reactions and which behaviors keep problems going. Clients learn concrete skills to lower immediate arousal and to change patterns that cause repeated conflict or shame.

Latasha draws from approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior techniques, emotionally-focused practices, and mindfulness. She uses those tools to help people notice thoughts and feelings, practice new responses, and repair important relationships when possible.

Her background includes long-term clinical work across multiple states and experience with mood disorders, substance use, and complex trauma. That experience supports work on impulsivity, codependency, intimacy problems, and challenges that come with major life transitions.

Sessions emphasize clear steps you can try between meetings. She guides goal-setting, skill rehearsals, and real-world problem solving. People who want straightforward methods to manage anger, rebuild communication, or steady their mood may find her approach practical and direct.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into steps you can practice. It is useful for managing anger, anxiety, and low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools help when reactions feel out of control or relationships keep getting strained. Each approach offers exercises that can be practiced between meetings to build different habits.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit current goals and comfort. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, emotional processing, or communication work.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the session options before booking so you know how meetings are run. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around life demands, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using guided exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices during appointments.
