About LaJuana
LaJuana Walker-McGill is a licensed counselor with 24 years of experience who helps people facing relationship struggles, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with individuals who want clearer motivation, greater confidence, and more satisfying day-to-day living. LaJuana emphasizes that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work of change.
She uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's perspective at the heart of sessions. That means conversations focus on what matters most to the client and move at a pace that feels right. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect and how small changes can shift feelings.
Clients can expect supportive listening paired with practical steps. LaJuana helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses between sessions. She frames progress as steady work rather than instant fixes, and she helps clients build tools they can use long term.
Her background includes two decades of counseling practice in clinical settings. LaJuana describes the first step as a courageous one, and she aims to make the process straightforward. People who want to work on forgiveness or self-love will find those topics included in her focus areas.
Sessions are guided by the client’s goals and readiness. LaJuana encourages people to take the next step when they feel prepared and offers a calm, practical environment to do that work.
How her approaches translate to online work
LaJuana blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to support change in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's lead so sessions focus on what the person finds most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, actions, and feelings and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. If an approach needs adjustment, she and the client discuss changes and test new strategies together.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week and support steady progress without long commutes. It can allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break or longer sessions when more time is available. Because the therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking to know how sessions will be arranged.
