LaWanda Myers

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 people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, and depression. She also addresses concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, and life purpose.

Myers emphasizes that clients are the experts in their own stories and that strengths already exist to help manage hard situations. In sessions she listens for those strengths and helps people name practical steps they can try. Conversations are direct and focused on the issues a person brings in, from mood and worry to relationship strain and feelings of isolation.

She has experience with post-traumatic stress, personality and mood disorders, and challenges like abandonment, guilt, and social anxiety. That background informs her work with grief, divorce and separation, and the particular stresses faced by veterans and those connected to the armed forces. Sessions address both immediate coping and longer-term patterns.

LaWanda supports women who are managing life transitions and parenting-related strain, and she helps people who feel stuck around life purpose and direction. She talks through concrete strategies for self-love, communication, and reducing shame. The approach is collaborative, turning what feels overwhelming into clearer next steps.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription billing option that can be canceled at any time, and session costs vary by location.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

LaWanda works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches concrete strategies for managing anxiety and mood swings. This involves learning coping tools, practicing them in session, and applying them between meetings to reduce distress.

She also uses trauma-informed methods that help people process past hurt in a stepwise way. These techniques aim to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and improve day-to-day functioning. For grief and loss, sessions often include ways to tolerate painful emotions while finding meaningful routines and supports.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit best given their concerns, goals, and preferences. That means checking in often and adjusting methods when something isn’t helping.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, require less travel, or allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. Licensed professionals can use different formats to match what each person needs, and she will discuss practical session arrangements when you schedule.
