Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Hi! I’m LaShunda Jones, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who is passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, discover their strengths, and create meaningful changes.
I have experience working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, family conflict, low self-esteem, substance use concerns, and life transitions.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of being judged. I strive to create a comfortable environment where clients feel heard, understood, respected, and empowered.
I bring authenticity, warmth, and appropriate humor into my sessions because I believe building a genuine therapeutic relationship is an important part of healing. I meet my clients where they are, recognizing that everyone’s journey is different.
Together, we will explore your concerns, identify your strengths, develop healthy coping strategies, and work toward goals that are meaningful to you. My goal is to help you build confidence, establish healthy boundaries, improve your emotional well-being, and become the best version of yourself.
Taking the first step toward therapy isn’t always easy, but you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing, growth, and positive change.

03 · What happens next
Lashunda practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Lashunda's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Lashunda at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Lashunda is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Lashunda.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Practical details
05 · Provenance
Lashunda's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 6 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Lashunda. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
