About LaJuan
LaJuan Gibson, LMSW, uses cognitive behavioral ideas and practical, strength-based techniques to help people manage strong emotions and improve daily functioning. He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on building emotional skills. People come to him for help with anger, stress, anxiety, grief, addiction concerns, and relationship or parenting struggles.
Gibson draws on experience from roles across juvenile justice, child welfare, mental health, substance abuse, and crisis intervention systems in Michigan.
Background and approach
That background shaped his preference for hands-on tools that people can use between sessions. He focuses on emotional intelligence, de-escalation, and techniques to reduce situational depression and reactive behavior. His approach blends cognitive behavioral practices with reality therapy and recovery-oriented methods.
Sessions often center on clear goals, behavior changes, and practical steps to handle setbacks. The tone in sessions is direct, encouraging, and focused on skill building rather than abstract theory. Gibson adapts his methods to each person.
He uses coaching and brief skills practice alongside therapeutic conversation. Parents may get help with setting boundaries and managing family conflict, while someone struggling with addiction or bipolar symptoms can work on coping plans and relapse prevention skills. People who choose him should expect structured sessions that teach tools for anger management, stress reduction, and healthier relationships.
He invites clients to take small, measurable steps and to track progress between meetings.

How his approaches work online and in sessions
LaJuan uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that fuel anger and anxiety. Sessions often include planning specific actions, trying new responses, and practicing those skills between meetings. Reality therapy and recovery-oriented methods focus on choices, responsibility, and building a routine that supports better emotional control and fewer crises.Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. He will work with each person to identify goals and test methods that fit their life. Adjustments happen gradually so the plan stays useful and realistic as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more reachable. Video allows face-to-face work and skills demonstrations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing coaching easier between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility for people balancing family, work, and other commitments.
