About Lashanda
Dr. Lashanda Baylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Mississippi. She holds a Doctor of Professional Counseling and brings 23 years of clinical experience to her work.
She focuses on practical help for everyday struggles and keeps conversations direct and goal-focused. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and depression using clear, step-by-step strategies. Parenting concerns and issues with addiction or impulsivity are also within her areas of focus.
Background and approach
She approaches mood disorders, grief, eating concerns, and trauma with attention to each person's needs. Her style is client-centered and collaborative. She listens first, then builds a plan that fits each person's life and goals.
Sessions emphasize concrete skills people can try between meetings. Dr. Baylor uses tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with attachment-informed ideas and emotionally-focused work when helpful.
These methods guide practical change in thinking, feeling, and behavior rather than relying on jargon. She aims to create a respectful space where people can name what is hard and practice new ways of coping. Her approach is steady and problem-focused, suited to those who want clear steps and real-world strategies.
People looking for focused, skill-based support may find her way of working helpful.

Approach-driven online care and flexible formats
Dr. Baylor often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on small, testable changes in thinking and behavior.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and coping with intense feelings. DBT teaches concrete skills for handling strong emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving distress tolerance in everyday life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. From there she tailors a plan and may combine tools from different approaches to match individual needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can fit a lunch break or low-bandwidth situation; live chat and text-based messaging work for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep consistent appointments and practice skills between sessions.
