About LaQuita
LaQuita Small is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. She writes plainly and listens carefully to help parents and individuals find steady ways forward. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and build practical coping skills for day to day life.
She uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to teach breathing, thought management, and behavioral changes that lessen anxiety and improve mood.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, doable steps that fit into a busy schedule. Parents are offered tools to manage parenting stress and strengthen self-care while juggling responsibilities. LaQuita brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions and centers empathy and respect in her work.
She pays close attention to life transitions such as divorce or workplace shifts and helps people map realistic goals for recovery and growth. When trauma or domestic violence appears in someone’s history, she approaches that material with care and patience. Her style is collaborative and practical.
She supports clients in developing self-love, forgiveness, and clearer boundaries. Therapy often includes short-term skill building alongside deeper work on self-esteem and relationship patterns. Clients can expect a calm, direct therapist who offers tools for managing social anxiety, phobias, and everyday stressors.
LaQuita focuses on helping people regain confidence and move toward meaningful change one step at a time.

Everything LaQuita lists, in the therapist's own terms. Parenting is the reason this directory exists; the rest shows what else LaQuita helps people with.
Therapeutic approaches and online session options
LaQuita uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and paced emotional work. One common approach teaches skills for managing thoughts and behaviors, helping people reduce anxious thoughts and change unhelpful routine responses. Another approach centers on building coping skills and emotional regulation through step-by-step practice, useful for stress, panic, and difficult life transitions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. LaQuita works with each person to identify goals, test different strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so the therapist can tailor techniques to their needs and preferences.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules. Video sessions allow conversational, face-to-face work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a slower pace is needed. Live chat or messaging options work well for brief check-ins, between-session support, or for people who prefer typed communication. These formats make it simpler to fit counseling into work breaks, childcare schedules, or while managing daily life.
