LaSharta Pearson, LCSW

LaSharta Pearson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas with eight years of experience. She brings practical, down-to-earth support and simple tools people can use between sessions. She often frames therapy as planting a seed - small changes over time lead to real growth. Her work is guided by respect for each person’s pace and goals.

LaSharta draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered approaches. She helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, practice new skills, and build clearer emotional understanding. Sessions focus on concrete strategies and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes service in the US Air Force and work as a corrections officer, along with volunteer roles with Special Olympics, Big Brother Big Sister, and Guardian ad Litem programs. Those experiences shape a practical, service-minded approach to mental health care. She emphasizes accountability and resilience learned from real-world roles.

People come to her for a range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and communication problems, self-esteem, addiction-related issues, anger, career stress, and caregiver strain. She also addresses mood differences like bipolar disorder, panic attacks, personality disorders, and co-occurring conditions. The focus is on helping people regain balance and function in daily life.

LaSharta works in English and offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, individuals complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include specific homework, thought records, and step-by-step skill practice that people can do between meetings to reduce anxiety or manage mood.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and learning to live with difficult feelings while taking committed action. In remote sessions ACT techniques include values work, mindfulness exercises, and practical exercises to increase meaningful activity despite discomfort.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and past experience to choose or blend methods that fit. That collaborative process helps make sessions useful and focused on real-life change.

Online formats include video calls for full face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins or real-time text interaction, and ongoing text-based messaging for frequent brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow flexibility for different energy levels, and let people use the format that best supports their comfort and needs.
