About LaShana
LaShana Poole is a licensed counselor in North Carolina who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and grief.
Background and approach
With 12 years of clinical work, she helps clients examine patterns that contribute to emotional distress and identify practical steps toward greater well-being. She emphasizes each person’s strengths and lived experience as central resources for change and encourages clients to see themselves beyond diagnostic labels.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with trauma-focused techniques and existential perspectives to address both symptoms and underlying meaning-making. This combination allows for skill-building around thoughts and behaviors while also exploring values, purpose, and the impact of past experiences.
Poole frames the therapeutic process as collaborative, meeting clients where they are and tailoring strategies to individual needs. Clients can expect a direct yet compassionate style that focuses on achievable goals.
She invites those ready to take steps toward a more satisfying life to begin the work of change, acknowledging that reaching out for support takes courage and is itself a meaningful first step.
Approaches for online healing and practical change
LaShana draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete coping skills; this approach is often useful for addressing anxiety, mood concerns, and stress-related symptoms. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to attend to the effects of past traumatic experiences, working to lessen intrusive symptoms and improve daily functioning through targeted interventions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she engages clients collaboratively to determine what fits best. Together they consider symptoms, personal goals, and preferences, and adjust methods over time so the plan reflects the client's needs and values.
Online therapy with her is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across life changes, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
