About Latasha
Latasha Shannon is a licensed social worker with 19 years of clinical experience. She practices in Michigan and focuses on helping people move through hard moments with steadiness and practical steps. Her background includes work with depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and addiction, and she aims to make therapy straightforward and useful.
Clients meet a therapist who listens first and then helps choose what to try next. Sessions are built around clear goals and small, doable changes. Latasha uses straightforward tools to reduce symptoms, manage stress, and improve everyday functioning.
Her style blends client-centered care with structured methods so people can both feel heard and learn skills. That means time is spent talking through what matters now and practicing ways to respond differently to difficult feelings. She also brings mindfulness and emotion-focused ideas into sessions to strengthen self-awareness and relationships.
Latasha has worked across many areas that often overlap, like grief, family concerns, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and codependency. She also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, career strain, and major life transitions. Her approach is practical and paced to each person’s needs.
When someone reaches out, the process begins with a simple conversation about goals and options. From there she and the client pick methods and steps that fit the person’s life. The focus is on steady progress and clearer coping over time.

DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help with intense feelings and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying a few techniques to see what helps most.
