LaShica Hemingway, LCMHC

LaShica Hemingway is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her practice. She has supported adults facing mental illness, developmental disabilities, and substance use challenges, and has provided therapeutic individual and group counseling to young adults in transitional housing. LaShica has also worked with families in both clinical settings and in-home, offering individual and family-focused care that addresses relationship dynamics, parenting concerns, and life transitions.

Her approach is eclectic with a strong emphasis on cognitive-behavioral therapy - a method that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - and person-centered therapy - an approach that prioritizes the client’s values and choices in shaping their path forward. LaShica works with people confronting anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, career challenges, and other relationship or family concerns.

Originally from Marion, South Carolina, she now lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, and balances clinical work with family life as a married parent of two. Outside of therapy she enjoys lifting weights, playing softball, and running. LaShica welcomes clients who are ready to explore growth and change through collaborative, evidence-informed care.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

LaShica commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, which helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and then practice concrete strategies to change those patterns. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping challenges. She also draws on person-centered therapy, a collaborative style that centers the client’s perspective and strengths so they can make informed decisions about their life and goals.

Determining the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. LaShica works collaboratively with each person to explore what feels most helpful, tailoring techniques to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy with LaShica is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional from home, work, or on the go while maintaining a regular therapeutic routine.
