About LaWanda
LaWanda Myers is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of professional experience. She is licensed in Alabama, Pennsylvania, and Texas and works with adults on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression.
Myers centers the client's perspective in sessions and treats people as the expert on their own story. She focuses on identifying strengths clients already have and building practical ways to use those strengths when life feels overwhelming. She encourages people to take small, steady steps toward goals rather than expecting sudden change.
In sessions she talks through immediate problems and helps people make simple plans for coping between meetings. She addresses issues related to abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Guilt and shame are also listed among the concerns she supports people with.
Myers also works with life-purpose questions, mood and personality disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, veteran and armed forces issues, self-love, and women’s issues. Her approach is practical and focused on what clients can do next to feel steadier and more able to handle daily demands.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. Language of service is English and international clients are not currently accepted.
Evidence-based techniques and how they translate online
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear steps you can try between sessions. Cognitive-style approaches look at unhelpful thoughts and teach ways to test and change them; they can help with anxiety, depression, guilt, and shame. Skills-based strategies teach concrete coping tools for stress, mood swings, and moments of overwhelm so people have something to use right away.Trauma-informed methods focus on safely working through difficult memories and reactions at a pace the client sets. These approaches aim to reduce the intensity of distressing reactions and improve day-to-day functioning when trauma or post-traumatic stress is present.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means talking about what has helped in the past, what feels realistic to try now, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let someone join from a quieter spot or avoid needing extra time away from work, which helps therapy fit into daily life without large disruptions.
