About LaShayla
Dr. LaShayla Dyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia who helps people facing relationship strain, family stress, anxiety, depression, and grief.
Background and approach
She works with individuals on self-esteem, coping with life changes, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related concerns. Her style is practical and respectful, with an emphasis on clients' strengths and choices.
She draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs. That may include Gottman Method ideas for relationship patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and actions, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking.
Sessions are aimed at small, usable changes rather than abstract theory. Dr.
Dyer emphasizes a collaborative process. She invites clients to describe what matters most and then shapes sessions around those goals.
The focus is on developing skills for managing stress, anger, sleep problems, or trauma reactions while building confidence and clarity. Her background includes work on issues like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, attachment difficulties, and fertility or family-of-origin struggles.
She also supports people dealing with burnout, compassion fatigue, and career transitions. Clients can expect straightforward conversations, practical tools, and steady support when tackling painful experiences.
The aim is to help people feel more capable of handling daily challenges and to strengthen the relationships that matter to them.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Dyer often uses Gottman Method ideas to highlight interaction patterns and improve communication in important relationships. Gottman-informed work looks at how people argue, reconnect, and rebuild trust so small changes can shift daily dynamics.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit too, helping people notice and change thoughts that feed anxiety or depression.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client's goals, preferences, and what proves helpful in early sessions. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels realistic and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins and ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while keeping progress moving forward.
