About La
La Shekia Smith-Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arizona and Nevada with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, grief, anger, relationship and family problems, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing mood disorders including bipolar, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her background includes work across health and human services, including day treatment for children with severe emotional needs, case management in early intervention, and supports for people with intellectual disability. More recently she has provided clinical and behavioral consultation to individuals, families, and community group home providers. This range gives her direct experience with practical problems at home and in community settings.
In sessions she uses a mix of methods rather than a single technique. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness methods, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches are tools she may draw on. She assesses each person’s needs and combines strategies that fit the situation.
Her style is straightforward and problem-focused. She aims to help people clarify immediate goals and learn skills for managing emotions, relationships, and daily demands. Sessions often involve talking through problems, practicing specific coping skills, and planning steps to address stresses at work, home, or school.
Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and the exact formats offered. La Shekia practices in Nevada and provides services in English.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing different responses. Online sessions using CBT often include setting clear goals, trying behavioral experiments between meetings, and reviewing results together to change unhelpful patterns. DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. In virtual work this often means practicing grounding and distress-tolerance skills together, role-playing communication strategies, and tracking use of new skills between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made. Confirm the exact session formats offered before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy week, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Some clients find video visits helpful for practicing communication skills in real time, while others prefer options that take less bandwidth or are easier to schedule. Ask about current formats to choose what fits your routine.CAreas of focus
