About KaShava
KaShava Coston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in the District of Columbia with 12 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She also helps people work on communication problems, self-love, and questions about life purpose.
She aims to help clients understand themselves better. Sessions commonly include talking through current struggles and practical ways to change day-to-day habits. She works with people facing shifts in work, relationships, or health who feel stuck or unsure what comes next.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means using practices that link specific ways of working to common concerns such as anxiety, depression, or attentional struggles. Sessions often involve learning communication strategies, practicing new ways of thinking, and setting small goals to test what feels useful.
KaShava pays attention to each person’s background and identity when planning care. She encourages clients to notice strengths as well as patterns that cause stress. Conversations move at a practical pace, with time given to both understanding problems and trying different tools.
People who want to focus on life purpose or rebuild self-regard will find a straightforward, goal-focused method. The work is collaborative: goals are agreed, progress is checked, and steps are adjusted when needed. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
KaShava uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common concerns. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of interpreting situations; these methods often help with anxiety and low mood by teaching concrete skills to shift thought and behavior. Behavioral strategies emphasize small, manageable changes in daily routines and activity levels to reduce avoidance and rebuild functioning after a setback.Finding the right approach is part of the work. KaShava will review your needs, goals, and preferences together and try methods that fit your situation. She adjusts the plan as you notice what helps and what does not, keeping sessions collaborative and goal-oriented.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use sessions from quieter surroundings or when stepping out during a break at work, depending on what suits their schedule and comfort.
