About Lawana
Dr. Lawana Mabry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with 14 years of experience. She provides direct clinical services across the state and focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and caregiving strain. Her work also addresses parenting concerns, career stress, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and relationship tensions that affect everyday life.
Her background spans child protection, medical social work, school social work, and inpatient psychiatric social work. She has experience providing grief therapy, individual and group psychotherapy, and serving as a clinical director for an outpatient behavioral health agency in Louisiana. That mix informs how she approaches practical problems in session.
Dr. Mabry has worked with children impacted by severe trauma, including sexual abuse and witnessing violence. She has also supported people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, and adjustment after divorce or separation. Clients who need help with body image, caregiver stress, or coping after natural or human-caused disasters may find relevant experience in her background.
Sessions are focused on clear, usable steps for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. She balances problem-solving with attention to experiences that shape behavior, such as trauma or family patterns. The goal is to identify practical changes someone can try between sessions.
Dr. Mabry earned a Doctor of Behavioral Health from Arizona State University and earlier degrees from Louisiana State University. She practices in Louisiana and conducts work in English.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Dr. Mabry draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work in session. One approach focuses on symptom management and coping skills - teaching concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and improve daily functioning. This is useful when someone needs tools they can use between meetings.Another approach emphasizes trauma-focused work when past events continue to affect current behavior. That kind of work looks at how experiences like abuse or witnessing violence shape feelings and relationships, and it aims to reduce the hold those memories have on daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means practical trial and adjustment rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, because this profile does not list specific online or in-person options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, handle brief check-ins between appointments, or avoid travel time. Some formats may be better for shorter updates while others suit deeper therapeutic work; discuss preferences and scheduling when you set up the first session.
