More about LaQunana

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am licensed in Mississippi and Rhode Island with 11 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, & depression. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. In my journey within therapy, I discovered my calling through supporting young adults across clinics, universities, and within the challenging confines of the prison system. My empathy serves as a guiding light, driving my commitment to aiding individuals of diverse ages as they navigate life's difficulties. Spanning various backgrounds and disorders, from grief to anxiety, trauma to depression, I collaborate with clients to harness their inherent strengths, paving the way toward their therapeutic aspirations.

Employing a person-centered ethos, I merge Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with innovative techniques, crafting a space where clients can authentically process their narratives. The trust bestowed upon me to guide others through their most arduous life moments is a privilege I deeply cherish.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
