About Latasha
Latasha Shannon is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Michigan with 19 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and the emotional impact of life transitions.
She works with clients on relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief and bereavement, anger, self-esteem, and career concerns. Her practice also includes support for compassion fatigue and mood disorders such as bipolar conditions. Latasha lists additional focus areas including abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and substance-related concerns.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness therapy. Sessions emphasize noticing feelings, naming patterns, and trying out new ways of responding to stress and conflict.
In practical terms she helps people recognize unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, practice skills for distress tolerance and emotion regulation, and strengthen connections with others where that is relevant. She also supports those coping with aging, intellectual disability, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and issues tied to impulsivity or dissociation.

How Latasha blends EFT and skills-based approaches online
Latasha lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) as a core approach; EFT helps identify and name difficult emotions and the interaction patterns that keep those feelings stuck. It is often used when people want to change how they relate emotionally to themselves and others.She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities, helping conversations stay grounded in what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit too; CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and circumstances, combining emotion-focused work with skill-building when that makes sense. The choice of methods evolves as therapy progresses.
