About LaShana
LaShana Poole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship strain, family problems, and grief. LaShana also focuses on codependency, commitment issues, impulsivity, and midlife and young adult concerns.
Her approach is straightforward. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Existential Therapy to look at meaning, choice, and how people want to live. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her work with people who have experienced past harm.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Conversations tend to focus on current struggles and steps that can be tried between meetings. LaShana encourages clients to identify their strengths and to use them to respond differently to stress, addiction triggers, or intense emotions.
She respects cultural differences and includes multicultural considerations in her work. That means paying attention to how background, identity, and life context shape stress, relationships, and coping.
People often come for help with people-pleasing, setting limits, or healing after stressful events. LaShana aims to help people clarify what matters to them and practice small changes that fit daily life.
