Background and approach
LaSharta mixes approaches to match what each person needs at the time. Her background includes time in the US Air Force and work as a corrections officer, plus volunteer roles with Special Olympics, Big Brother & Big Sister, and the Guardian ad Litem program.

Online session options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
LaSharta integrates Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways people can use in regular life. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and identify alternative, more helpful stories that support change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches how to accept difficult thoughts while committing to values-based action, which can reduce avoidance and boost meaningful activity.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions warm and respectful, focusing on the person’s priorities and rhythm. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try approaches, track what helps, and adjust methods based on goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video calls are good when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, skill coaching, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while working toward clearer next steps.
