About LaSonda

LaSonda Sylte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 23 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and life purpose. She also works with people facing parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, career uncertainty, and caregiving or aging-related challenges.

She has a long history of working with people affected by trauma and with a broad adult age range. Her background includes supporting those dealing with end-of-life and hospice-related issues, as well as people coping with major life changes. Her practice lists ADHD, bipolar disorder, and substance-related problems among the concerns she addresses.

LaSonda takes a collaborative approach. She partners with people to identify problems and practical steps forward. Sessions often mix skills work with discussion, using straightforward techniques to manage emotions and behavior.

Her methods include cognitive behavioral work to look at thoughts and actions, dialectical behavior ideas for emotional regulation, and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and next steps. Mindfulness practices and client-centered listening are part of how she helps people notice what matters and try different ways of responding.

People who book a session can expect a direct and respectful style that emphasizes problem solving and coping skills. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with them. It can help when someone feels directionless after a life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix approaches over time so the person can see what helps most in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice skills in their usual surroundings and bring real situations into conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so the work stays practical and focused on what matters next.
