Shalette Lawton, LPC

Shalette Lawton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and supports clients as they take practical steps toward feeling better. She sees motivation and confidence as skills that can grow with practice.

Shalette believes each person is the expert on their own life. She uses that perspective to build plans that match real day-to-day needs. Sessions focus on small, achievable changes that add up over time rather than big, sudden shifts.

Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered work. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors, while keeping the conversation grounded in each person’s values and goals.

She also uses emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness tools to help with intense feelings and recurring worries. Practical problem-solving is part of sessions too, so people leave with steps they can try between meetings.

With over a decade of professional experience, Shalette has supported people through grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, career transitions, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar symptoms. She tailors sessions to the issues a person brings and the pace they prefer.

Shalette works with adults in Georgia and conducts therapy in English. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, guiding people to build new habits, try different responses, and notice what helps in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Shalette often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT-style work focuses on practical exercises and short-term goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress.

She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and collaboration. That approach helps people shape goals that match their values while feeling heard and respected. Emotionally-focused ideas are used when stronger feelings or relationship patterns come up, helping people name and respond to emotions with more clarity.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shalette works together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts plans as progress is made.

Online therapy with her is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people talk face-to-face and work through exercises, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t preferred, and chat or text can fit brief check-ins or flexible scheduling. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other life demands while keeping a steady path toward change.
