Dr. Lashanda Baylor, LPC

Dr. Lashanda Baylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Mississippi. She holds a Doctor of Professional Counseling and brings 23 years of experience to her work. Her background centers on helping people manage stress and anxiety along with related concerns such as mood and addiction issues.

Her style is practical and goal focused. She uses hands-on approaches to help people solve problems and reduce overwhelming feelings. Sessions emphasize clear steps and skills that can be applied between meetings.

Dr. Baylor often combines cognitive strategies with attention to emotional patterns. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and manage strong emotions. She also uses Client-Centered and Attachment-Based ideas to make space for each person's experience.

Many people come for help with depression, anger, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, or substance use concerns. She also supports individuals coping with ADHD, bipolar mood shifts, self-harm urges, and trauma or abuse histories. Her aim is to tailor the plan to each person’s needs and goals.

Dr. Baylor speaks English and practices in Mississippi. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and focuses on respectful, practical care. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and behavior; it helps people notice patterns in how they relate to others and to themselves. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience, with the therapist offering empathy and space so clients can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Baylor will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That choice can shift as progress is made and new challenges emerge.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy life because they reduce travel time and can be scheduled around work or childcare. Remote work also makes it easier to check in more frequently for short skill practice or to follow up after a difficult week. If video is difficult, some people prefer phone sessions for lower bandwidth or a simpler check-in; discuss options when you schedule so sessions match your routine and comfort.
