About LaShonda
LaShonda "Ann" Aycock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. She brings ten years of experience helping people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next. Ann focuses on practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes.
She uses approaches that help people build new habits and cope with daily stress. That includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to what each person needs and prefers. Ann works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and relationship struggles. She also supports people navigating career change, parenting challenges, caregiver strain, and the effects of trauma.
ADHD is listed among her focus areas for those wanting help with attention and organization challenges. The work in sessions is conversational and goal-oriented. Clients can expect to identify small, concrete changes and try them between meetings.
Mindfulness and thought-focused exercises are used when they fit the person's goals. Ann aims to create a respectful, compassionate environment where people can talk honestly and learn tools that fit their life. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and adapts methods so they feel useful and realistic for each person.
Practical approaches for online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and shapes the work around their goals and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers hands-on strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can lower reactivity and improve focus for everyday tasks.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches match their needs, goals, and how they prefer to work. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video works well for full conversations and exercises, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, chat and text are handy for brief check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and try strategies between sessions.
