Lavon is the best! She cares so much! Our time together was very helpful to me and I loved how she helped me begin to see things a different, more positive way. The worksheets she sent me were also very helpful. It was wonderful having someone in my corner!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oklahoma. I have 6 years of clinical experience demonstrating a strong commitment to serving children, adolescents, adults, and families in mental health and educational settings by assisting clients with navigating mental health, medical, educational, and social settings to proactively address their plans of care to improve their overall health and well being. My experience includes working with clients with ADHD, anger, anxiety, attachment disorders, bi-polar disorder, depression, emotion regulation, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and family conflict.
My passion is working with children, adolescents, adults and families to help them overcome obstacles that interfere with their mental health and fulfilling their goals in life. I have worked in the helping profession for over 40 years as a licensed child care provider, licensed therapeutic foster parent for teen female youth, paraprofessional working with children with special needs and mental health aide working with adults with special needs. I have worked in the mental health field as a licensed master social worker and licensed clinical social worker for the past 6 years and continue to do so specializing in working with children, adolescents, adults and families. I have had the privilege of working in the helping profession my entire career which gives me insight to helping others with mental health and life challenges. My education includes an Associate of General Studies specializing in Early Childhood Education, a Bachelor of Science in Social Work, and a Master of Science in Social Work.
I utilize the PIE (Person-In-Environment) approach to focus on what is most important to the client while incorporating evidence based practices. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy and Motivation Interviewing as clinical approaches to best serve clients. You are the expert in knowing what you need and I am here to help you identify and process areas in your life that you want to change.

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.
