About Latasha
Latasha Shannon is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience helping people manage intense emotions and life transitions. She practices in Michigan and draws on a practical, people-focused style to support clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and anger. Latasha uses straightforward talk and steady guidance to help people find clearer ways to cope.
Her background includes work across varied settings that exposed her to complex emotional and behavioral challenges.
Background and approach
That experience informs a calm, down-to-earth approach in sessions. She listens first, then helps people identify small, doable steps to reduce distress and rebuild routine. Latasha blends client-centered listening with goal-focused techniques from cognitive behavioral methods and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy.
Mindfulness practices and emotionally-focused work are also part of her toolbox when helpful. She tailors techniques to each person rather than following a single method. Sessions often focus on practical skills people can use between meetings - managing anxious thoughts, reducing impulsive reactions, coping with triggers tied to trauma or loss, and rebuilding confidence after a setback.
She also supports people dealing with relationship strain and career stress as those problems often feed into emotional health. People who prefer clear, collaborative plans and steady encouragement tend to do well with her style. Latasha describes therapy as a partnership where progress comes from honest conversation, practiced skills, and adjustments as life changes.

Approaches for emotion regulation and practical change
Latasha uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful space where people decide the pace and focus of sessions. This approach emphasizes listening and tailoring support around each person’s values and goals.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice clearer, more effective responses for issues like anxiety, depression, and anger.
Dialectical behavior therapy contributes concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can reduce impulsive reactions and help manage strong emotions in everyday situations.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible options to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a more in-depth conversation is useful. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth or attention needs are lower, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing encouragement between sessions.
These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same clinical approaches a licensed professional would use in person.
