LaSharta Pearson

LaSharta Pearson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of clinical experience. She brings energy and encouragement to therapy and believes small changes add up over time. LaSharta often uses positive affirmations to help people notice progress and build confidence in their day-to-day lives.

She shapes each plan to match a person’s needs, goals, and expectations. Sessions focus on practical steps, skill-building, and checking what is working. LaSharta draws on therapies that teach coping skills and emotional awareness to guide change.

Her background includes roles in the U.S. Air Force and work as a corrections officer, plus volunteer work with Special Olympics, Big Brother Big Sister, and Guardian ad Litem programs. Those experiences inform a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.

People come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, workplace strain, addiction, and coping with life changes. She also supports those facing caregiver stress, communication problems, infidelity, isolation, and mood-related challenges.

In the room she uses parts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered approaches. Expect a mix of skill practice, values clarification, and reflective conversation aimed at steady, manageable progress.

Her goal is to help people discover practical tools and the motivation to use them. She often encourages clients to try small actions between sessions to see real change.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It is useful for coping with life changes, anxiety, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic attacks or depression. It often includes homework and skill practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when emotions run high.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. That plan can be adjusted as progress is made so the best fit emerges through collaboration.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten commutes, and allow check-ins that focus on skill practice or problem-solving. Some people prefer sessions that emphasize exercises and brief skills coaching, while others use the time for deeper conversational work. Discuss scheduling needs and session length during the matching process to find an arrangement that fits everyday life.
