LaSharta Pearson, LCSW

LaSharta Pearson is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She draws on a lifetime of service, including time in the U.S. Air Force and work as a corrections officer, and brings that background into her counseling work. She aims to meet people where they are and to join them as they make change.

Her style is warm and practical. She uses everyday language and concrete skills rather than jargon. Sessions focus on small, steady steps people can try between meetings. LaSharta mixes listening with tools drawn from proven approaches to support progress.

Clients can expect an individually tailored plan. She adapts methods to match each person’s needs, goals, and pace. That can mean building emotion regulation skills, practicing new ways to respond to stress, or working on communication and relationship patterns.

LaSharta also addresses issues around self-esteem, life changes, addiction, intimacy, and career strain. She has experience supporting people facing mood disorders, panic, caregiver stress, and workplace challenges. Her aim is to help people find clearer direction and more usable coping strategies.

She often uses mindful practices and values-based goals to help people stay motivated. Her approach combines elements of cognitive behavioral work and skills from dialectical behavior therapy with client-centered listening. She shares encouragement and practical steps, along with affirmations that promote self-worth.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and then take small steps toward those values. It often focuses on building willingness to accept difficult emotions while acting on meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to current struggles, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Together they adjust the plan over time so the work fits the person’s life and produces practical gains.

Please confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support consistent attendance during life transitions and help people practice skills in real-time situations. Licensed professionals guide the process and help adapt tools from ACT and CBT for virtual work.
