About Lashanda

Background and approach

She completed advanced professional study in counseling and brings a practical, goal-oriented mindset to her work. Her background includes long experience providing behavioral therapies for a broad range of concerns, and she shapes treatment plans to address each person’s individual needs.

Her style blends structured, evidence-informed techniques with a client-centered stance that respects each person’s dignity and goals. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other approaches to help people develop new coping skills, manage mood and impulsivity, and address patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, or substance-related concerns.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that focuses on concrete problem solving while honoring personal values and preferences. Dr.

Baylor’s areas of focus include mood and anxiety disorders, addiction and substance concerns, trauma and grief, relationship and family issues, ADHD and impulsivity, eating and parenting challenges, and women’s issues. She offers sessions from Mississippi and provides services in English.

How targeted approaches translate to online therapy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and mood; it is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns and early bonds to help people understand how connection and trust shape current relationships, which can be helpful for relationship strain, family dynamics, and trauma-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, personal preferences, and symptom patterns, then suggest strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. That partnership helps ensure methods align with each person's priorities rather than imposing a single model.

Online sessions using video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and reach a therapist from Mississippi without travel. These formats support flexible scheduling, shorter check-in options, and continued access to tools and coping strategies between sessions, helping clients apply therapeutic skills in real-world contexts.
