About LaShayla

Dr. LaShayla Dyer brings a collaborative, strengths-based approach to therapy and is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Georgia.

Background and approach

She centers care on people navigating relationship and family concerns, self-esteem and motivation struggles, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, and a broad range of life stressors including compassion fatigue and career-related challenges. She also lists ADHD among her specialty areas and addresses issues such as parenting, intimacy, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and sleep difficulties.

With an emphasis on respect for each person's expertise about their own life, Dr. Dyer blends practical tools and empathic listening to help clients build on existing strengths.

Her background includes clinical training as an LCSW and CSW, and she applies evidence-informed methods to support coping with change, resolving communication problems, and working through family-of-origin and blended family tensions. She aims to create a welcoming environment where clients can explore emotions, set goals, and develop skills for managing stress, grief, and relationship patterns.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, then clarify personal values and take committed steps toward meaningful change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotional experience to strengthen connection and address attachment-related struggles within close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be determined collaboratively. The therapist will work with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, then adapt methods from these models to create a personalized plan that feels practical and achievable.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support across distance.
