About LaSonda

LaSonda Sylte is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience providing compassionate, client-focused care in Indiana. She works with people facing a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her background includes extensive work with trauma survivors and clients across the lifespan, and she brings a calm, respectful presence to each therapeutic relationship. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and practical skills, blending evidence-based modalities to match each person’s needs.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness strategies for emotional regulation, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-driven change. LaSonda’s approach is described as laid back, honest, and compassionate, focusing on partnership rather than prescription.

Clients can expect a therapist who values clear communication and gradual progress. LaSonda also addresses related life challenges such as career concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and end-of-life planning, offering a versatile skill set to help people manage change and build meaning in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, life transitions, and building sustained motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, mood concerns, and impulsivity. Mindfulness-based strategies support present-moment awareness and stress reduction, which can complement work on emotional regulation and coping with trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and LaSonda works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She integrates techniques rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, and clients are involved in shaping the plan of care.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility limits. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication method that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
