Lashone Brown, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lashone!

My approach to therapy centers around how one's thoughts, beliefs, and attitude impact one's feelings and actions. It is a cognitive behavioral therapy approach to teach coping skills for life. My area of focus is health, and primarily assisting those with physical and emotional challenges.

My focus

I have experience working with clients with chronic illness, suffering from loss and grief, anxiety, and depression.

My approach

I utilize a therapeutic approach that includes but is not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Crisis Intervention, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Case Management, Coaching, Strength-Based, Patient-Centered, Systems Theory, and Positive Psychology.

My communication style

From the start, it is my goal to provide a healthy, empowering, and supportive environment for communicating. A safe place where you feel heard and can take steps on the path to solutions for problems.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey, at its core, is about helping people succeed by addressing the barriers hindering their achievement of success. I have a philosophy that states people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. I can see the impact that COVID has had and is having on society.

My goals for you

Goals are established with collaboration and support for the client. They are the clients and belong to them. I will assist in helping them focus and achieve them.

Our first session

The first session is about fit. It is an opportunity for the client to ask questions, and that helps them know I am the right therapist for them. It is also time for me to ask questions to understand why the client is seeking therapy now.
