Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m LaShena Haynes, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience in the mental health field. I offer personalized online therapy across Texas and Louisiana—helping you build resilience, find balance, and lead a meaningful, fulfilling life.

Clients should know that I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self. My approach is collaborative—I don’t see myself as the expert on your life, but rather as someone who walks alongside you, helping you gain insight, build skills, and move toward the changes you want. I value honesty, respect, and openness in our work together. I may gently challenge you at times, but always with care and your growth in mind. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered, while also providing practical tools you can use in your everyday life.

My approach to therapy

I believe that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and supported. I use a person-centered approach, which means your unique story, values, and goals guide our work together. My role is to walk alongside you—not to lead or direct, but to empower you with practical tools that support real, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect their first session to feel safe, free, and welcoming—a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without pressure or judgment. We’ll gently explore your current concerns, any important background that feels relevant, and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy. Together, we’ll begin identifying goals and what support might look like for you moving forward.There’s no “right” way to start therapy. Whether you come in with clear goals or just a feeling that something isn’t quite right, you’re welcome here. My role is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered as we begin this process together.
