About Lashanda

Dr. Lashanda Baylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life changes, and addresses concerns like ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating issues, parenting, self-esteem, and mood disorders.

She frames therapy around clear goals and a client-centered style. Sessions focus on practical problem-solving and building skills that help in day-to-day life. She draws on cognitive approaches and emotion-focused ideas to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck.

Her background includes long-term work in behavioral therapy and interventions for drug and alcohol addiction, impulsivity, and self-harm. She also supports women who want focused help with issues that affect their lives and relationships. Her training includes methods that attend to how attachment and emotion shape reactions and decisions.

In sessions, she uses structured techniques alongside space for people to tell their story and set priorities. That might mean breaking big problems into small steps or practicing new ways of responding to stress and mood shifts. The focus is on what the person wants to change and on measurable steps toward those goals.

Dr. Baylor works in English and practices from a professional counseling perspective. People who prefer hands-on, skills-oriented work and clear goals may find this approach a good fit. To begin, she asks people to identify specific concerns they want to address and the outcomes they hope to reach.

Using Emotion and Attachment Work in Online Sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on helping people name and work with difficult emotions. It aims to identify interactional patterns linked to strong feelings and to explore new, healthier ways of relating to those feelings, which can help with relationship patterns and intense emotional reactions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds and current attachment styles affect how people handle stress and relationships. It helps people notice repeating patterns and try new responses that feel more secure and connected in daily life.

She will collaborate with each person to find the best fit among approaches. That means discussing goals, preferences, and what feels helpful in early sessions, then adjusting methods together as therapy progresses.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people choose quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain consistent progress while balancing everyday demands.
