About LaShawnda
LaShawnda Gayden is a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family conflict, and anger. She focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life. Her approach is steady and respectful, and she emphasizes listening first.
She aims to create an affirming space where people feel heard and understood. Sessions are collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
Background and approach
LaShawnda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people gain insight and build new coping skills. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and concrete tools. She often helps people notice patterns that fuel strong emotions and then practices alternative responses.
The work is paced to match each persons needs and readiness for change. LaShawnda centers each persons background and lived experience in therapy. She pays attention to culture, values, and the details that matter to individuals.
This helps shape realistic strategies that people can use outside sessions. Her goal is to walk alongside people as they navigate what brought them to therapy. She encourages small, sustainable steps toward better coping and clearer communication.
LaShawnda practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English.

Everything LaShawnda lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in LaShawnda's practice.
Approaches that translate to online care
Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building new skills. Cognitive strategies help people notice and shift thoughts that increase worry or anger, and then practice calmer responses in daily situations. Behavioral strategies involve specific exercises and experiments that test new ways of reacting and improve mood through routine and activity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or text messaging can support ongoing coaching and brief updates between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
