“The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you’re not going to stay where you are.” ~ J.P. Morgan
Hello and welcome to Better Help! My name is LaShanna Larkins and I’m thrilled that you decided to take the steps to INVEST IN YOU! You might be a little uneasy about this process but I assure you that we are in this TOGETHER.
So let me tell you a little bit about myself. I began working in this career field in 2004 as a Mental Health Technician in the United States Air Force. In 2008, I decided to pursue my master's degree by attending the College of Social Work at the University of South Carolina—GO GAMECOCKS!!! I graduated with the highest of honors and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida. I am a proud military spouse and have had the pleasure of providing services to individuals, couples, families, and groups all over the world. The myriad of experiences that I’ve had in the military and civilian sector have equipped me with a wealth of knowledge, a unique skill set, and clinical expertise that I believe will empower you to live a fulfilling and purposeful life.
I understand the importance of being able to connect with your counselor so if you have any questions or would like to talk more then please feel free to contact me. I hope to hear from you soon and wish you love, peace, & happiness!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
