About LaShayla
Dr. LaShayla Dyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD concerns, and relationship struggles. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space so people can talk through what feels overwhelming and figure out next steps.
Dr. Dyer speaks English and works with clients remotely, including international clients, using a range of online formats. She uses practical, straightforward methods in sessions.
Background and approach
Conversations often center on immediate problems and small changes that add up. She emphasizes each person’s strengths and helps them reconnect with what matters most in life. Sessions can include goal setting, skill practice, and real-life problem solving.
Dr. Dyer draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen deeply and support each person’s own pacing and choices.
These approaches are blended to fit the needs shared in session. Her background includes clinical social work credentials: Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, CSW). She brings 11 years of experience to adult mental health and relationship concerns.
Sessions cover a wide range of topics such as grief, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and career stress. Conversations begin with what matters to the person in front of her. Practical next steps are a focus, whether that means short-term coaching tools or longer-term work on patterns that cause trouble.
Getting started involves a brief matching process and scheduling a time to meet.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small steps toward them even when feelings are hard; this can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which helps with stress, sleep issues, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s perspective and pacing, allowing sessions to follow what feels most important in the moment rather than a preset agenda.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Dyer will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that match those needs. She adapts methods over time, checking in about what helps and what should change so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into a busy life. Video is good for fuller conversations and skill practice, phone can be used when bandwidth is low, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to use around work, caregiving, and daily routines.
