LaWanda Myers, LICSW, LCSW

LaWanda Myers is a licensed social worker based in Texas with seven years of clinical experience supporting people through a range of emotional and life challenges. She is licensed in Alabama, Pennsylvania, and Texas and holds the credentials LICSW and LCSW - both indicating advanced clinical social work qualifications and the ability to provide independent therapeutic services.

Myers has helped clients address stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, and depression. Her practice emphasizes practical coping skills alongside attention to the underlying issues that contribute to emotional distress, and she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide care.

She works from the perspective that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to navigate difficulties. LaWanda encourages clients to recognize their resources and resilience while exploring new ways of managing symptoms and restoring balance. Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and she aims to meet people with respect and support as they begin that process.

Evidence-based approaches for online support

LaWanda Myers uses evidence-based techniques tailored to each person’s needs. One important element of her work is a strengths-based approach, which focuses on identifying and building the skills and resources people already have so they can cope more effectively with stress, mood changes, and life transitions. This approach encourages empowerment and practical strategies for everyday challenges.

Given her experience with trauma and abuse, she also incorporates trauma-informed principles that help people understand how past experiences can shape current reactions and relationships. These methods emphasize careful pacing, validation of responses to trauma, and developing skills to manage symptoms and improve functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. LaWanda will work together with each client to determine which techniques best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy with her - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - offers flexibility and easier access to consistent care, making it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to receive support from wherever the client is located in Texas.
