About LaSonda
LaSonda Sylte is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday parenting stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and mood concerns. She speaks plainly and wants parents to feel heard and understood as they work toward clearer routines and better coping.
LaSonda draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
Background and approach
She brings mindfulness and acceptance strategies to reduce reactivity and increase calm. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in the parent's priorities. Her style is described as calm, honest, and respectful.
Sessions aim to be collaborative conversations where goals are clear and steps are practical. Parents can expect to leave with simple tools to try between meetings and space to reflect on what works. LaSonda has spent many years working with people facing trauma, addiction, end-of-life concerns, and major life changes.
That wide background informs how she helps parents manage stress, handle relationship strain, and rebuild routine after setbacks. She also supports people facing career shifts, caregiving strain, and questions about life purpose. She works from Indiana and conducts sessions in English.
LaSonda offers a range of session formats so parents can choose what fits their schedule and needs. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session to begin.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
LaSonda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values; it can help with parenting stress, anxiety, and life changes. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.She also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the client. That means the therapist listens closely, follows the client's priorities, and adjusts tools to match goals. Figuring out the best approach is a team process and she will help guide that decision based on the client's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill practice and feedback. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, momentary coaching, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and to try different ways of working until a good fit is found.
